Wonder why AARP doesn't mention/promote the US Parks Lifetime Senior Pass?

Done with this "new" and "improved"... kinda like dotard improved America...

Yes, that would be helpful. @WebWiseWoman   I’ve got mine, and glad I got it before they changed it to an orange blob.

I'm looking forward to a girls trip away. We have planned to drive down Eastern shorelines through Outerbanks to spend sometime. We will end our trip in Georgia,  I can not wait to drive the scenic routes of the old mills and the beautiful waterfalls and Savannah and Atlanta as well. We are driving from Pennsylvania

 I am looking forward to my favorite summertime things that take me back to my youth. For me that includes:  a drive in movie, lots of ice cream, BBQs with watermelon for dessert, watching and catching fireflies, sitting at the beach and walking the boardwalk, and seeing friends, near and far.

We are planning a road trip to Yosemite.  Hoping for good weather and not too much traffic.  I've never been so excited to see all the wonder in person.

We just did a big family vacation in February so I think this summer we're going to lay low we're going to be doing a lot of work in our backyard and make that more enjoyable and I think we might do a weekend camping trip at the beginning of August if we can find an available site that's getting harder and harder to do without pre-planning! everyone have a great summer!

I’m looking forward to enjoying new places in the city. I want to participate in day trips and local classes this summer.
