This is an invitation to you to remember a very special trip that you took. You may have traveled outside the U.S., or not. But, as you know, there are some trips that live larger in our memories than others.

I remember one of the first stories that came up when I was designing this website. It was from a church friend of mine and it was about a trip that she took in the summertime with her family when she was 10 years old. It was hilarious. They packed up this volkswagon, bringing along all the comforts of home including a table and chairs. She said she couldn't believe they could get everything into that tiny car. But they were destined not to travel light. And when they arrived, sure enough they had all their comforts with them. The way that she wrote the story was so true-to-life that I still remember the details.

Maybe you also had a trip with your family when you were young. I remember my family driving across the country from Wisconsin to Washington D.C. because my Dad thought we ought to meet our Congressman. And we did that and even had our picture taken with him. But all we kids could think about was, "where's the pool?" It was a hot summer.

You can use these ideas as a launching pad and I am sure you have ideas of your own. Look back at some of your photos and that will help you to remember! Plus you'll have the added enjoyment of reliving your trip through pictures.
