National Parks | You can expect to find posts related to our National Parks in this category. These are many of the most beautiful or historic places in the United States. |

Family Vacations | This category is for when a vacation takes our family to a place that is not normally related to the rest of the content on this blog (for instance, Disney World.) We will still write about these vacations and those posts will appear here. |
