Parks!

Eric and I LOVE visiting parks! State Parks, National Parks, Provincial Parks, County Parks, all parks. If we have to go out of our way to make a park part of our trip, don’t doubt that we will. Nature and the outdoors have such an amazing impact on our health and wellness, so we want to share with you our thoughts on the amazing parks we have been to.
