When I was 7 (
1964),
we went on a trip from California to
Nebraska for a family reunion. We made
a lot of sight seeing stops both going and coming taking 2 different routes. All the other trips to my mom's hometown we
drove all day for 2 days and got there as quickly as possible. So this was a really special trip for all of
us. Because the trip was going to be so
long my mom got us lots of games and activities we could do in the car. One of her ideas was to give us all scrapbooks so we could scrapbook our trip along the way. I collected brochures and post cards from the
various stops we made and put them in my book.
I started off labeling them using strips of paper that we had for making
paper chains. I'm not sure if they fell
out or I stopped labeling. This trip was
the only time we ever went sight seeing when going to see family and more than
50 years later I still remember it. I
treasure this little scrapbook to this day.
