Encouraging kids to create a journal while they are on vacation is a great way to engage them in a new destination and create lasting trip memories.  Even toddlers can have fun creating journals through drawing or saving tidbits and treats from the road.  School age kids and older is the perfect time to start a family vacation tradition around journaling.
