My husband recently re-retired, and we are front-loading travel. My #AtoZChallenge posts this year will explore our adventures--some pre-retirement, some post. Today's location: Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone is my husband's Disneyland--his happiest place on Earth. The diversity of wildlife, the numerous geothermal features, and the stunning landscapes all combine to make visiting Yellowstone a bucket-list experience. It's no wonder it was the nation's (and even world's, according to Wikipedia) first national park!

That's just a small sample of the amazing things to see at Yellowstone National Park. It would be easy to spend a week at the park, but it would be worth spending even a day there. Who wouldn't want to go to nature's equivalent of Disneyland?
Come back tomorrow to see where in the world we'll go next!
