Over Christmas Break, the Beavers had planned a trip down to Tallahassee with Tiffany’s mom. We had tentatively planned to drive through Plains on our way back, but those plans were cemented upon the news breaking of Pres. Carter’s death while we were in Florida. I’ll ultimately share about our trip to Plains, but first,Continue reading “Jimmy Carter National Historical Park (NP027 – Plains, GA)”

Cumberland Island National Seashore (NP024 – St. Marys, GA)
This is Part 5 of our Thanksgiving adventures. For Part 4, click here. What a day of adventures we had. We only spent about 30 minutes total in the car today; however, we spent an hour and a half in a boat, and the rest of the time wandering around. We set out after aContinue reading “Cumberland Island National Seashore (NP024 – St. Marys, GA)”
Fort Frederica National Monument (NP021 – St. Simons Island, GA)
After enjoying a beautiful day at Fort Pulaski, we arrived at Fort Frederica in the late afternoon. This is an 18th-century era fort located on the north part of St. Simons Island, outside of Brunswick. I was excited to visit here due to the history behind it, and I hope Teagan will take some ofContinue reading “Fort Frederica National Monument (NP021 – St. Simons Island, GA)”
Fort Pulaski National Monument (NP020 – Cockspur Island, GA)
The Beavers got back in the park-visiting spirit after another break away, mostly due to a 2.5-week trip we took this summer to Chile. We had intended on visiting several national parks while we were there, but the weather prevented us from visiting any of them. Regardless, we had a great visit. Teagan is nowContinue reading “Fort Pulaski National Monument (NP020 – Cockspur Island, GA)”
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park (NP019 – Chickamauga, GA / Chattanooga, TN)
After a long hiatus away from visiting parks, the Beavers finally got a chance to take a day trip up to the Chattanooga area over Spring Break. Tiffany’s mom Dawn (whom we call DD) was also able to join us. We had been in Atlanta (where DD lives) for Easter, and then we set outContinue reading “Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park (NP019 – Chickamauga, GA / Chattanooga, TN)”
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (NP005 – Atlanta, GA)
After months of not visiting any national parks (at least, not in the USA…in July, we visited four national parks in South Africa, but that’s another story for another website!), we finally managed to snag the third and final national park unit in the Atlanta area. I’ve crossed over this river a million times drivingContinue reading “Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (NP005 – Atlanta, GA)”
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park (NP003 – Atlanta, GA)
I’ve driven through Atlanta a million times. I’ve always seen signs on the interstate pointing to the MLK park, but only until we started pursuing national parks did I actually consider going there. Our quest to visit national and state parks coincides with a time in my life (and Tiffany would probably also say inContinue reading “Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park (NP003 – Atlanta, GA)”
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (NP002 – Kennesaw, GA)
For Spring Break, the Beaver family hit the road to visit family in the Atlanta, GA area and in the Upstate of SC. While we were in the area, we took advantage of some of our time to visit the local national parks. One of the great things about our National Park Service is that,Continue reading “Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (NP002 – Kennesaw, GA)”
