National parks I’ve visited

Starting in July 1999, Kim and I purchased our first NPS Passport book and started collecting stamps. The same year, we decided to forgo celebrating our anniversary–July 15–with traditional gifts, and instead opted to start a new tradition: taking a national park/monument vacation. Since then, we make it a point to visit as many NPS sites as possible, continuing to collect stamps from each. We’ve filled up several sections from one book and have moved on to another.

At some point, we’ll scan and post an image of each stamp. In meantime, you can check out my log of stamps, or just read through the list of the 166 NPS units I’ve been below.
