My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post's to be just what I'm looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn't mind producing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome weblog!

This is our summer – always!! A trip to Disney would be grand — but I’d miss the sounds of the wind in the leaves, the frog song in the pond and even the patter of rain on the tent roof. I don’t even miss blogging…..well, maybe a little. haha
The only problem in Canada, is your only have about 4-5 months of the year when you can visit the parks – at least to camp, so I would LOVE to do a tour down in the lower States one year. that would be amazing.

In reply to Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life. Yellowstone is on our list, and I've heard it's very family-friendly. How far are you from Maine? Acadia National Park is wonderful and very accessible. Plus, you can't beat the lobster pounds just outside the park. YUM!

In reply to Dana. We love Acadia National Park, too! And you can't go wrong with the national parks out west. There are so many to choose from. We're slowly working our way through the list. I can't wait to take the girls in a few years!

Escaping the grid sounds wonderful to me right now! In all seriousness, I would love to see more of our National Parks! I would really love to take the kids to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, but I should probably do some research and see where we could go close to home this summer!

Acadia National Park was one of our best family vacations. I’d love to visit some out west – I think they will be perfect even when the kids are young adults.

The sad thing – I don’t think I’ve ever been to a National Park! Now I really want to plan our summer trip around 1 or more!!!
Great post, Nicole!

In reply to Eli@coachdaddy. The Great Smokies are practically in your backyard, so pack up that tent (and lots of snacks!) and hit the trails. You'd come home with blog fodder for weeks! And it would be an experience your girls would never forget.

In reply to Tamara. It's hard to take a bad picture in a national park. Mother Nature does a lot of the work, so you just have to show up! Glacier National Park is an incredible place for wildlife viewing. We saw at least 20 bears (black & grizzly), big horn sheep, cute mountain goats, and lots of little critters.

In reply to thedoseofreality. You're so close to the Great Smokies, but I'll admit we haven't spent much time there either! Looking forward to taking the girls on some backpacking trips in a few years. It's practically in our backyard!

In reply to Abby. Yes, we've seen some of the most amazing scenery on our national park trips. I think Yosemite Valley is one of the most beautiful spots on the planet, and the views & vistas in Glacier National Park were absolutely stunning. Can't wait to come visit you in Jasper someday!
