  • Fort Frederica and Fort Caroline – The Southeast Coast

    Over Labor Day Weekend, we took a very quick drive down to Florida to visit friends and family.  While travelling, we were able to squeeze in a couple of NPS sites – of course!  Our first stop was Fort Frederica National Monument, in Georgia.  We had spent a nervous evening the night before, since right…

  • Lake Mead NRA and Las Vegas

    Nightime found us in Las Vegas, where we were eager to check out dining options at the Wynn Hotel.  Steve Wynn is vegan and we had heard that every dining establishment at the hotel has vegan options.  We found this to be true and stuffed ourselves on Wynn burgers, fries, and milkshakes at one of…

  • Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and Mojave National Preserve

    Our next stop was Cabrillo National Monument.  In our quest to earn certificates from the National Park Travelers Club, we wanted to visit again to get the stamps – and to get the lighthouse stamp.  Cabrillo is a beautiful spot, so it’s not hard to convince us to visit again!  Beautiful views of San Diego…

  • Coronado National Memorial and Tumacacori National Historical Park

    The next morning we drove to Coronado National Memorial.  Coronado commemorates not only the expedition of the man for whom the park is named, but also the influences of Spanish exploration in the Americas.  Practically straddling the Mexican/U.S. border, Coronado offers hiking trails and panoramic views towards the border.  After a stop at the visitors…

  • Saguaro National Park

    Our next national park stop was Saguaro.  Saguaro National Park is divided into two sections, West – Tucson Mountain District and East – Rincon Mountain District.  We visited both districts that afternoon, taking drives through as much of both as we could.  It would be great to come back and spend more time hiking in…

  • Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

    Back in July, we were able to take a vacation out west, but life in general (especially the home buying process!) got in the way of me finishing this post.  We decided to rent a car in Phoenix and drive in a large circle, stopping at NPS sites in southern Arizona, then heading to San…

  • A Few Mid-Adlantic NPS Sites

    Baltimore was our next, and final, stop on our East Coast spring trip.  Visiting friends, we began our stay with lunch at Liquid Earth. Featuring fresh juices, they also serve vegetarian sandwiches.  My meal began with an Orange Pearrot – orange, carrot and pear juice.  I had a Rueben, something vegans do not get served often. …

  • Assateague Island National Seashore

    The next leg of our spring trip took us to Ocean City, Maryland.  Since it was off season, we were able to stay right on the beach very easily.  Our hotel room overlooked the ocean and the sunrise – perfect beginning to a beautiful visit.  The town was pretty quiet, lots of businesses were still…

  • Philadelphia, PA

    We began the following day in Philadelphia, at Independence National Historical Park. Both of us have been to Independence before, but we have enjoyed it so much in the past we decided to go again.  We also had the goal of finding more Passport Stamps.  First we lined up to see the Liberty Bell, and then…

  • A Few Northeastern NPS Sites

    This spring, we were able to take a week off together and do a little East Coast traveling in our quest to visit every National Park Site.  We had spent a weekend up in Connecticut with family, so we drove from Connecticut to North Carolina, stopping at eleven National Park Sites!  I’ve broken up our…
