National Parks

When you think of top historical destinations, you don’t typically think of America’s National Parks.  However, the parks are wonderful places to combine history education with outdoor activities. They make perfect vacation destinations with kids and are a nostalgic road trip back in time!  How many of the National Parks have you visited?
