Happy Birthday, National Park Service....

Today, is the 

100th Birthday,

of the 

National Park Service.

Founded on

August 25, 1916,

by Theodore Roosevelt and Horace Albright,

the Park Service manages the National Parks, most National Monuments,

and National Historic Sites.

My love of National Parks started early.

My parents loved to camp...and fish...and national lands

were a good place to do that.

Mr. P and I, took our children, when they were small.

In recent years, we've been to quite a few.

Ready?

Grand Canyon National Park

Joshua Tree National Park

Grand Tetons National Park

Yellowstone National Park

Glacier National Park

Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

Saguaro National Park

Shenandoah National Park

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

And, National Monuments and Historic Sites...

 Chimney Rock National Historic Site

Mount Rushmore National Monument

Little Big Horn National Battlefield and Cemetery

San Antonio Missions National Historic Park

National Monuments in Washington, D.C.

There are more. But, you get the idea...we like National Parks.

There are more on our list of places we want to see.
Getting there a little at a time.

Do you like National Parks?
How many have you seen?

GO!

They're worth the trip.


Happy Trails...
