Meet Journey / San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.

I didn’t know what I was expecting when I set up an interview with Eric, Valerie and their daughter Journey, a two year old who has been to 45 national parks. That number will have already increased by the time you read this at home.

Forty-five is a big number... And Journey has a big personality to boot. She loves the outdoors, and knows what to do when it’s time to snap a few photos. Eric and Valerie Castillo have documented every trip since she was born and have organized them on Journey’s very own website.

So, you might be thinking ‘Will she even remember this?’ Or simply ‘Why?’. I took an walk at San Antonio Missions National Historical Park with the Castillo family to learn more about why national parks are so special to them and their daughter.

We also talked to PT Lathrop, chief of Education and Interpretation at the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park to learn more about what the park has to offer local residents and it’s historical facts.
