Exciting Strategies to Document Your Getaway

20 Dec Exciting Strategies to Document Your Getaway

When you’ve taken the time off of work, packed your bags, and the kids prepared to go, there’s nothing better than going out for a family getaway. Being all together as a family, checking out the sites, having time to chat, visit, and laugh, and taking a few solid days to pay attention to the people you’re with is a blessing that doesn’t come around often enough.

In reality, you’re making memories that will last a lifetime, and it’s great to document these experiences for remembering later. While people do this in different ways, the important thing is finding something that works for you.

First, take time to write. There’s something about writing down some ideas, even a few words, to state an experience and capstone a day. Reflecting and recording help arrange feelings and emotions, and it’s also an ideal time to share highlights, too. Maybe someone said a one liner that had everyone in stitches, or shared something deeply personal with the group. These are the kinds of things you want to document. But, what happens if you’re not one to write things down? That’s okay. Use your smart phone to create audio recordings. All you’ve got to do is press the record button and talk. They’re easy to save, and a cinch to share and distribute, too.

Take images. There’s that saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, and in some ways, it’s right. Pictures will jog your memory of your travels, and you’ll rejoice to have them.

Bring something meaningful home. What about purchasing something that holds personal meaning to you, something that actually takes you to a specific memory or something you don’t want to forget? Maybe you had a life-changing conversation on the beach with someone you love, something that brought an answer to your life or helped you let go of some long-held pain.

Show your emotions through an art form. Maybe you aren’t one to get pictures, write things down, or bring things home. You might be someone who wants to express your experience by writing a song with the guitar, painting a picture, writing a poem, or creating something that represents an idea.

Take videos. That interface makes it easy to record a few thoughts every day, and it’s easy to attach a photo with your words to provide an umbrella approach at capturing the whole experience.
