This is one post where I can leave someone else to do the talking and I really don’t have to write much! All too often on family trips, the adults record their perspectives of the experience, and typically in the form of pictures – but not the child’s. This is the fourth family vacation where I’ve got Hannah to spend an hour or so each evening to write a journal entry in a prepared format. It not only a record for her, but it also helps her to think about what she’s seen and experienced. In the years to come, I’ll have to decide whether to get her a camera to also take pictures too, but we’ll still need to find some way to also retain our descriptions of our impressions – whether it’s the form of recorded audio in a video, through social media, or also as a blogger. Something to think about in a few years more!
In the mean time, some excerpts from her journal!
