I was on abcnews.com cause I was really bored and found this article
National Parks Plan 3 Free Summer Weekends - ABC News
Intrigued, I went to the USNPS web site and got the list of what parks would be affected

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Tuesday that entrance fees at 147 national parks and monuments — including the Grand Canyon and Yosemite — will be waived on three weekends this summer. The weekends are June 20-21, July 18-19 and August 15-16.

I haven't decided whether to go to
Craters Of The Moon National Monument & Preserve - Craters Of The Moon National Monument & Preserve (U.S. National Park Service) or to
Yellowstone National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
but I'm glad I have a little extra money to spend on the touristy things for the kidlings
