Ken & Patti's Travels 2024 Travel Plans

Our plans for the year are based upon two blocks of time.   We have divided the year into Spring/Summer and Fall.   These two blocks of time are divided such that we spend a large block of summer back in our former home state of Georgia, where we will welcome a new member to our family.   Chad and Lindsey are expecting their first child and we'll be there to celebrate with them.

Our Spring/Summer travel began a little later than last year as we faced several bouts with snow that we'd like to avoid this year.   Our travel for this window extends from April through June and includes several exciting stops.   The lynchpin moving west will again be one of national parks.   The highlight of these is Great Sand Dunes National Park.   The ending concludes with a second visit with the Hanks #HappilyEverHanks in Nashville Tennessee. 

While are summer travel has been laid out, our fall travel is still largely vapor, however the lynchpin for this trip is visiting Yellowstone National Park and its neighbor Teton National Park.   Our hope is that visiting in the fall offers two advantages.   The first is these locations should be more photogenic with fall foliage highlighting the already beautiful locations.   The second expectation is that there will be far fewer people at the locations and the local creatures will be more relaxed and easier to find and see.
