What quote am I vibing? " Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain. For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain." (Katharine Lee Bates)
What am I excited about? National Parks!
What am I reading? Heir to the Empire City: New York and the Making of Theodore Roosevelt by Edward P. Kohn
How long til I'm on the road? 25 days
I've been in a bubble!! A theatre bubble. I am the sound technician at StarStruck Academy & Theatre in Stuart, FL, and we presented The Producers this past weekend. And when I have too many things on my plate, I retreat. But, I'm back! And all yours for the rest of the summer. Let's go!
While I was in my bubble, my birthday gift from my Dad arrived - my National Parks Annual Pass! I will be visiting at least 8 national parks on my trip, so this will be a great money-saver. And a wonderful way to support our national park system, which Theodore Roosevelt did so much to expand and preserve. Roosevelt's Antiquities Act of June 18,1906 enabled US Presidents to designate landmarks, structures, and objects of historic or scientific interest as National Monuments. So many of our beloved monuments and national landmarks are protected by this law.
As we celebrate the 4th of July tomorrow, I am grateful for the many stunning landscapes, terrains, and treasures that we are able to enjoy in this beautiful country. I am looking forward to seeing more, and findings ways that I can be a steward of our most beloved public land.
