Summer vacation too expensive? Too complicated? Too late to plan? Missy and Shannon Jones of KeeKee's Big Adventures are here to debunk all of it.


Parks — national, state, and local — are the most affordable, flexible, and genuinely fun summer vacation option out there. You don't need a six-month plan. You don't need a tent. You just need to take the first step.


In this episode: — 

  • Why 89% of parents say they're traveling this summer no matter what — and how to do it without breaking the bank 
  • The real barrier to park vacations (hint: it's not money, it's not knowing how easy it actually is) 
  • Why kids don't get bored in nature — they build forts, discover roly-polies, and catch fireflies 
  • How to work the reservation system: weekdays, off-season, Airbnbs just outside the gate, last-minute site releases 
  • KeeKee's Park Activity Suggester — the fortune teller / cootie catcher that picks your next outdoor adventure 
  • What My Hammock Summer is — and why Shannon's husband Paul is already in his
