Here is a bunch of possible FREE road trip activities – like 392!! Tomorrow starts the week of National Parks Week! What that means is that there is FREE admission to the Nation’s 392 National Parks!! You can find a national park near you, or one for a bit of a fun (and thrifty!) road trip! In addition, many national park concessioners are offering special promotions that are certain to add to your fun.
Both Thrifty Al and Thrifty Cas grew up about 1.5 hours from Yellowstone National Park! We took for granted the easy access to one of the most interesting, exquisite sites in the world! And to think, as kids, we visited annually and sometimes multiple times a year! One of the awesome wonderments of God’s glorious creation! We have been married for nearly 11 years, and during that time have only been back to Yellowstone twice! The last time was the first time with our kids – last year! They were completly amazed even at their young age. They comment often how it is “one of my favoritest vacations!”Just last week they were begging to go back! The now 5 hour drive still isn’t that bad so I think we will be trying to go again this year!
This year, we would love to also be able to go to the Redwoods in California! Thrifty Cas was there once as a teenager – it was incredible! I would love to go back and take the rest of the family, so that may be on this year’s Thrifty Couple Road Trips.
