Look how pretty she is. Jason (my fiance) hates her. He has threatened that if we ever break up that he will burn her (HOW RUDE!). That could be because I made him run around Boston collecting stamps and he was miserable.
But let's talk about the book and what it entails.
The inside has the states separated into sections with each of the National Park's locations in the state like the above photo. Then in the next few pages is the place where you put the stamps yourself.
There are even stickers that are released every year! (Yes I bought them all).
There is even a travel club for people trying to get them all!!!!
www.parkstamps.org
I love them. For $10 dollars, you can join and they will tell you where the stamps are. You can also check off all the parks you've been as well!
Now for the things that matter... how far along I am on the quest to see all the National Parks. Everything in BOLD I have checked off!
