A few years ago my family and I embarked on a journey to visit all 63 National Parks and as many National Monuments as possible. We LOVE the National Park Service (NPS) and their sites because they are very well maintained, clean, accessible to people with a range of abilities, they are family friendly and they have bathrooms! Here is a very condensed list of some of our favorite National Parks and Monuments (so far) as well as our favorite hikes, sites, excursions, and more! MY #1 TIP when visiting any National Park is to make a stop at the Visitors Center to talk to a Ranger about things to do in the area and gather information about trail closures, etc.

Being in Florida means always being an hour or two away from a beach! Being able to go to the beach any time of the year is a blessing, and we’ve gotten pretty good at knowing what we need to bring vs what we can leave at home. Lots of beaches require you to walk a good distance from the parking lot to wherever you want to sit so you really only want to bring what is necessary. Also here’s another tip: Get to the beach EARLY and if you can’t, get there an hour or two before sunset. Good luck finding parking midday!

My husband and I didn't want a traditional wedding- we wanted to focus on us, our partnership, and starting a new chapter of adventures together.

With that goal in mind, in 2023 we trekked 24 hours across the globe, from Canada to the Daintree Rainforest in Northern Australia, to say our vows and explore new places in a 4 week trip of our dreams. We aren't fast-speed travellers. We love to stay for a few days to a week in one spot, soak up the sights, and have a mix of adventurous activities and chill time with no set plans for pool time, beach walks, or enjoying a snack. If this is your kind of travel, read on! This list is a recommendation of all of our favourite places, activities, accommodation, and food.
