Hey, I'm Christy Scronce, a Filipina-American Los Angeles native and travel enthusiast. I love visiting new places and trying new food. Welcome to my adventure blog where I capture both State & National Park visits, family excursions, and road trips, while sharing my travel photos and recaps. My goal is to visit as many National Parks using my “America the Beautiful” annual pass. I'm pretty much logging the places visited since my husband Matt and I said goodbye to our 16.5 yr soul doggy, Corona on 8.22.20. This site is dedicated to our Stinker. ❤️🐕🦺🦴 Until we meet again.
