Parking It

The three of us spent the afternoon at the park. It so much fun that we are starting to become park regulars. Arden and her father played on the slides (sliding down head first of course). Then Arden explored the field and was running around while we were able to talk to some of the other parents at the park.

Here is a few great parks which you may not be familiar with but we've enjoyed over the years.
  1. Murfreesboro Greenway -- Murfreesboro, TN -- you have to see the world's biggest bucket.
  2. Glenwood park -- Princeton, WV-- great trails, rolling hills, ducks and a small lake.
  3. Centennial park -- Nashville, TN -- houses a small replica of the Parthenon.
  4. Hitchcock Woods -- Aiken, SC -- beautiful woods with fox hunts and horse trails. It is also the largest city park in the U.S.
  5. Ritter Park -- Huntington, WV -- Look for the rose garden or walk the 4 miles of cyinder path. It is also a great place to play ultimate Frisbee.
  6. Freedom Park -- Charlotte, NC -- great walking paths, a train engine and greenway.
  7. Cascades -- Pembroke, VA -- Great trails leading up to an amazing waterfall.
  8. Natural Bridge State -- Lexington, KY -- a rock natural bridge that the wind has carved.
  9. Riverfront Park -- Louisville, KY -- rent the tandem bikes...it's worth the great memories.
  10. Symphony Park -- Piestany, Slovakia -- A small spa village that has free symphony concerts at night during the summer.
  11. New River Gorge State Park -- amazing views of the New River Gorge and New River Gorge Bridge -- the longest and 2nd highest steel span bridge in the world. It's a long hike down to the river. Bridge Day in October is worth the trip.
