I typically ask my girls to share 3 highlights (which is helpful when friends and family ask too &#8211; they have their highlights ready to share!) but it is also important for me to find ways to document those highlights. I like to make sure they (and I) remember where we went and some of the sweet magical moments that are easily for<span style=\"color: #000000;\">gotten\u00a0&#8211; to\u00a0remind us to laugh about some of the mishaps we encountered along the way and inspire us to plan our next trip together.\u00a0I like to do this through pictures, stories and activities that recall their memories and share their experiences.

World Pin Map<\/h1>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Several years ago, we ordered a colorful world pin map to document our adventures. After much consideration on how to use the map, we decided that the rule for our family would be &#8220;a pin goes in when all 5 have been&#8221; so that everyone could participate in the post trip pinning. We love looking at the map both as we&#8217;re planning trips and during the post-trip ceremony of placing new pins when we return. This year we also received a <a href=\"https:\/\/scratchoffmapoftheworld.com\/products\/scratch-off-world-map?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIspWXjvvX2gIVg6_ICh3jcAu8EAAYAiAAEgJqz_D_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scratch off map<\/a> which could be used similarly or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01J88TDYS\/ref=asc_df_B01J88TDYS5453396\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;creative=394997&amp;creativeASIN=B01J88TDYS&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=167138874211&amp;hvpos=1o3&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=5062901755036528296&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9013190&amp;hvtargid=pla-276214184095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here&#8217;s a coloring map<\/a> that could be used as well.

Travel Journals<\/h1>\n<div>Before bigger trips like our recent holiday trip around <a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.comindex.php\/2018\/01\/18\/europe-with-kids-a-summary-of-food-favorites-fails\/\">Europe<\/a> for three weeks, I always buy my girls a new travel journal. There are tons of options to choose from for kids &#8211; some have writing prompts, coloring pages and activities included, but my favorite is a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Strathmore-STR-362-5-Sheet-No-90-Mixed\/dp\/B006ARD7PW\/ref=pd_sbs_201_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B006ARD7PW&amp;pd_rd_r=7GT7AG0Q4Q14ZFDVCYXP&amp;pd_rd_w=qHlju&amp;pd_rd_wg=5vXDf&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=7GT7AG0Q4Q14ZFDVCYXP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strathmore Mixed Media sketch book<\/a>. There are several sizes available &#8211;\u00a0 I like the small (5.5 in. x 8.5 in.) books. The paper is thick watercolor paper (perfect for markers, pencils or watercolor paints), the spiral binding is strong (no matter how rough the kids are with it) and it allows kids to lay the book flat or flip over the page easily.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Before we leave for a trip, I let them color or collage the front of their journals to their heart&#8217;s content which gets them excited about the trip too.\u00a0The journals are also helpful\u00a0<i>during<\/i>\u00a0the trip to pull out at the park if they simply want to sit and paint (my girls have fond memories sitting in the gardens by the <a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.comindex.php\/2017\/02\/01\/city-guide-paris-france-with-kids\/\">Eiffel Tower<\/a> and painting several years ago), pull out at a restaurant to keep them occupied while we wait for food, or I&#8217;ll create a custom scavenger hunt for them in their journal to use at a museum or during a long car or train ride. Then,\u00a0after we return from the trip, we spend evenings finishing up the journal &#8211; coloring or taping pictures we printed out from the trip or adding journal entries or highlights. Sometimes I&#8217;ll even write some questions for them to answer about the trip in their journal and we&#8217;ll work on them during long flights home or on evenings when we&#8217;re back home.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>In fact, last January, we got stuck in a blizzard for a few extra days in New York so one night at the hotel, we pulled out our travel journals and the girls worked on them for hours. Long after the trip, my kids show their journals to everyone and they are an amazing keepsake that everyone cherishes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><strong>Travel Tip:<\/strong> I also pack colored pencils &#8211; since many <a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.comindex.php\/2017\/02\/15\/10-tips-for-visiting-art-museums-with-kids\/\">museums<\/a> only allow pencils to be used inside &#8211; markers, washi tape, a glue stick and a small watercolor pallet and brush in a large ziploc bag with the journal to add ticket stubs, pictures, drawings or brochures that we gather along the way.
