Many of you have a bucket list. A list of things you aspire to do before you "kick the bucket." A longing to fulfill your life long dreams and to have a sense of satisfaction when you pass. Listed are things such as, 'learn to play guitar, have children, travel to Paris, see the pyramids, skydive...ect.' 


   Here's the thing, when I was kid my family used to go on these long family road trips. We'd drive from Texas to Pennsylvania and Ohio. to California and the Grand Canyon. I'd droopily wake up in the back seat of our old family car, the Top Gun soundtrack softly playing in my ears, to look out the window and gaze at the most beautiful U.S. country side. We'd pass through the towering waves of the Appalachian Mountains, the vast deserts and mesas of Arizona and New Mexico, and the stretching coasts of Florida and Alabama. I fell in love with the landscapes and the peaceful beauty. Which lead to one of the things that's on my bucket list- to visit every National Park in the  U.S. 


   There are a few that I've already been to, but I'm hoping to return again, and come back with a story of adventures and pictures to share of the sights I've been blessed to see. I'll also be stopping at state parks and beaches along the way.

 The adventure starts now.
