Hello, I'm Wendy, and I started Travel the Parks to document our journeys to the different National Parks across the country. We began sharing our vacations with family and friends. We have expanded it to cover all national park units, state parks, and other destinations we've visited. On our website, we post our travels, tips, and itineraries from all the parks we visit. We also share our love of fishing rivers, lakes and streams. We hope to travel throughout the year now that we have a travel trailer. Every National Park unit sign serves as our signature in a picture. Because of the blog, I hope to make trip planning easier for others.
