Last week I moved to Georgia, and lucky for me, my wonderful parents came down and helped me get situated. Naturally, the day after moving, we all thought it was a great idea to pack up and head to the closest national park. It was myself, my Dad, my Mom, and my Harper (5 year […]
On June 7, 2018 after a 12 hour overnight drive from Springfield, MO we made it to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. We didn’t have high expectations for this stop, because we needed a halfway point to Glacier, but this park definitely surprised us! There are many overlooks, trails, and a scenic drive visitors […]
