One year, when we may have pulled the kids out of school for a week to drive to visit family, one of their teachers assigned them to keep a journal. It was a great way to practice writing skills, and  record some of the memories we made along the way. We’ve now added journal pages to our Road Trip Notebook, which has drawings, brochures, maps, etc that help us remember the places we’ve been. Our notebook is woefully un-crafty — just a plain white binder, with some plastic sleeves for keeping the maps and things in the back. But we can add to it on each new trip.
