Yellowstone National Park

Everglades Alligator Farm Homestead, Florida

Some of our favorite travel memories are about the animals we have seen or touched. How about you? Although we were hoping to see bears when we went to Yellowstone National Park, we were beside ourselves when we actually did. In the Everglades in Florida we were excited when we saw an alligator in the wild - but it added another dimension to get to hold a baby one at an Alligator Farm. Animal experiences from sea to shining sea! Consider making your visit to each state unique by having an animal encounter or make an animal-related stop in each state or country you visit. If you already have, let us know, you just might be a Travel Goal Getter Record Holder.
