I thought it’d be fun to create an animated GIF of selfies and other pictures of Jenn and me from 2025 (click that link to see it). We’ve been to some interesting places!

End-of-year summaries of posts in the previous year.
2025 baseball parks
This is a summary of baseball-related posts from 2025.
One of our stretch goals in exploring the US is to attend a game at every Major League baseball stadium. As with our other goals, we have a spreadsheet to track this.
Back in 2023, we visited just two ballparks, The Coliseum of the Oakland Athletics (which is now closed) and T-Mobile Field of our Seattle Mariners.
In 2024, we visited seven more: Truist Park of the Atlanta Braves, Oriole Park of the Baltimore Orioles, Nationals Park of the Washington Nationals, Busch Stadium of the St Louis Cardinals, Target Field of the Minnesota Twins, Oracle Park of the San Francisco Giants, and Dodger Stadium of the Los Angeles Dodgers (plus we revisited the Mariners). We also visited some minor league stadiums, and the Field of Dreams movie site.
In 2025, we visited another seven: Citizens Bank Park of the Philadelphia Phillies, Comerica Park of the Detroit Tigers, Progressive Field of the Cleveland Guardians, Rogers Centre of the Toronto Blue Jays, Fenway Park of the Boston Red Sox, Yankee Stadium of the New York Yankees, and PNC Park of the Pittsburgh Pirates (and the Mariners again, including a Bananaball game at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park). And some spring training and minor league games, plus the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
Again, you can also see the attractions from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. And you can see all of the attraction-related blog posts via the exploring category, with the earliest posts at the top, or the latest posts at the top, or more specifically the baseball category (with earliest or latest posts at the top).

2025 towns

2025 parks and museums
In the previous post I covered the National Parks we visited in 2025, but we also visited many National Monuments and other National Park Service units, plus state parks, museums, and such. So this post summarizes those.

2025 National Parks
One of the main reasons for traveling the United States in a motorhome is to explore the many wonders around the country.
This is a summary of the National Parks we visited in 2025. You can also see the attractions from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
As with the previous summaries, I’ll include a link to the corresponding blog post, and a sample picture. Click or tap the link or picture to see more.

We visited 5 new National Parks in 2025 (plus revisited several), for a total of 52 so far of the 63 total National Parks. We have visited all of the National Parks in the contiguous states; a major milestone! Just those in Alaska, Hawaii, and American Samoa to go.
