The Outdoors Dream

The Outdoors Dream is a travel blog that started out as a journal in 2015 that I would take notes in during our adventures. Afterwards, I would share these notes with family and friends. In 2021, I planned our first cross country road trip to Yellowstone National Park. I have since then fallen in love with national parks. Now it is my goal to see all 63 national parks in the United States.
