Ah, holiday time! In a weary economy, many families are struggling to afford a "real" vacation - making the trips that they do get to take momentous events that must be preserved for the sensational occasions they are! The tips that follow will assist you to keep the memory of your once-in-a-lifetime vacation fresh on your mind when you want to take a stroll down memory lane to revive the fun and togetherness you embraced as a family.
* Make a scrapbook. Scrapbooking is a very fun activity, and creating a scrapbook of your vacation is a wonderful way to preserve the vacation memories you consider precious. Include objects like photographs, ticket stubs, receipts, flyers, hotel matchbooks as well as other little items that you obtained on the trip. Vacation cut-outs that relate to your vacation are a fun thing to include, for example cut-outs with a seashore theme for your visit to Orlando, Florida, or nautical cut-outs for an Alaska cruise, and for your visit to France, cut-outs of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower.
* Develop an album digitally. Using a digital album to exhibit your family excursion is not only a fun way to display your pictures, but also an excellent format for preserving your memories so that you'll be able to reprint your photographs if anything at all was to happen to the originals, such as harm or misplacement.
* Frame your pictures. Buy several fun 5x7 picture frames and frame the finest shots from your trip. You might also pick a collage picture frame to frame several shots at once.
* Create a shadow box. The supplies to produce a shadow box are quite inexpensive and may be found in the craft department of any big box retail store. Be sure to integrate items into the shadow box that help you to remember your favorite trip, like a couple of seashells, a miniature container of sand, and one or two pictures from your trip to the beach. This is also a great project to get the kids involved with; let them to create their very own special shadow box to display in their own room.
* Keep a travel journal. This is a fun activity to do while you're on vacation. Buy a simple unlined journal for describing your travels and write in it every day as you move forward on your trip, leaving a blank page after every day's journal entries for pictures. Take related shots to support the things that you are writing about; you can print these pictures and adhere them to the blank pages upon your return home. You may also pick up postcards from the places you visit and insert them in the journal as well.
* Obtain a digital picture frame for your memories. Upon your return from vacation, all of your family and friends will be thrilled to view your family pictures in a digital picture frame. This could be a picture frame that you simply put on your desktop like you would any other picture frame - only that it plays a slideshow of your vacation pictures, or maybe even a keychain picture frame that you can carry around on your key ring.
From arts and crafts to simple store-bought frames, there are lots of fun and creative ways to preserve all the great memories of your fun family getaways.
