I keep a journal of all of our vacation trips. It's a habit that I picked up 
from my mom. She kept logs of all of our vacations. About a year ago, my dad 
fulfilled one of his retirement goals and typed out all of the journals on 
the 'puter. He gave each of us kids a printed and bound copy. I treasure this 
- it brought back even more memories. I'm going to do the same for my kids, 
with the journals that I keep as well.
