A moment of fun…
Posted by Jena under Blogroll | Tags: caverns, explore, family, fun, local, parks, springs, state, tacky, tourist, vacation |I found this today and thought it would be great chance to reach out and discover some non-tacky, maybe even inexpensive and under rated places to visit in the U.S. I’m pretty sure we all have those little local places that we like to visit that we think are incredible treasures or just plain fun especially for the price. Down here in Florida we have a lot of natural (& COLD) springs that the state has made parks around. If you can handle cold water, there is really a lot to see and appreciate while you are there. It’s really cool if you have a motor home because then the overnight stays are 1/4 the price of a hotel and you have your bathroom with you when you travel.
So, how about it? Will you share your favorite local spots with me? I love caverns, have any near you? Let’s see what is hiding out there that the masses don’t get to know about.
By the way, in regards to the ‘Tackiest’ article…I have a fondness for the ‘South of the Border’. When I was a child, my family would stop there every year on the way to NY from FL. Ok, so…ummm…maybe 30+ years ago it was waaayy cooler than it is now. But who knows, your (young) kids will probably love it, and truthfully, what else matters?
Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!
