When I was younger, I used to carry a little notebook around and take notes about
class field trips. I wanted to keep those memories with me and rewrite them.
I wish I had done more of this kind of thing, because it would have been
meaningful to me. We had only traveled to Normal, but it was a big deal to me.
So this is a great idea for your family or you to pursue.
Record your travel experiences!
Face it! As we age, family-time decreases, because people move away, or
get too involved with work and business pursuits. So the best way to
capture some of these moments is to jot down your fun times or not
so fun times.
A camera or a laptop or other such item would also aid in this project.
A tape recorder or videotape recorder may be inconvenient to carry, but
would be helpful as well.
I found a travel blog example for you to view.

It is a few years old, but you can get the basic gist of what it is like to
travel - blog. This one pertains to school trips and someone who wrote about
the experiences.
PARENTS!:
Here, your teens and you can can view others'
adventures. There are other sites online.
Find the best one for your child/family.
