Camping in Sandy Hook (Gateway National Recreation Area)

The beautiful Sandy Hook unit of the Gateway National Recreation Area is basically in our backyard. Yet it is easy to overlook the splendor in our own neighborhoods.

Worthington State Forest Camping

We spent two nights camping at Worthington State Forest in Columbia, New Jersey – just a few miles from the Pennsylvania border and the adjacent Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Worthington State Forest was the best public campground we’ve stayed at in New Jersey.

Wild Goose Island, Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.

Bucket List: U.S. National Parks

The National Park System administers not only national parks but also properties designated as preserves, seashores, monuments, memorials, historic sites, battlefields, and more.

Kauai Itinerary

Kauai is the fourth largest island in the Hawaiian Islands. We spent one week on Kauai, nicknamed The Garden Isle. We hiked, took a doors-off helicopter tour (!), and enjoyed some time at the beach and pool.

Maui Itinerary

Maui is the second largest island in the Hawaiian Islands. We spent five days on Maui, nicknamed The Valley Isle. We hiked a variety of landscapes – especially in Haleakalā National Park, drove the Road to Hana, and marveled at the beauty across the island.
