This week is National Park Week, which means that you will get free park entrance to all of the 393 US national parks is free from April 21st to April 29th. This is a great time to bring your family out and have a fun, frugal family day, and make sure to bring along a picnic basket.

In South Florida there are many beautiful national parks to experience:

Biscayne National Park

 

Big Cypress National Preserve

Dry Tortugas National Park, Key West

Everglades National Park

In St. Augustine, where my heart belongs, there are a few options as well.  If you have never been to St. Augustine, the oldest city in the country, I can highly recommend it. I spent many sunny days of my youth reading books on the lawn in front of Castillo de San Marcos, and this summer I brought my entire family there.
