Great Trip
This is one of my favorite vacations of my lifetime! The photos in this journal entry show clearly why I adored this trip. My husband, my kids and my mom are the most important people to me in the world. My stepdad was pretty cool too! Wink.
I look at how happy we were, and I remember the fun in my bones! Mikey enjoying his virgin strawberry daquiris poolside is a detail I had forgotten, but it makes me smile to see it captured in his journal. So much swimming and smiling and sea life…this vacation was made for us!
One Journal Note
When you get back from a trip or a school break, a photo page can be a great journal entry! Your child doesn’t need to write about every single thing they did on their staycation or journey…just putting some pictures on the page gives them something to share with classmates when the topic of discussion is “What did you do over break?”
