Video Trip Record: We're on Our Way!

Directions:

Bringing out the video camera when you're traveling will not only relieve the boredom of a long drive or ride, but it will provide you with some unusual video memories of the journey. Be sure to include the little things as well as the big events. For instance:

On the road. Give each family member a chance to be on camera and describe the area you're traveling through.

Tour of the car. Since you're spending so much time in the car, why not feature the vehicle in a video segment.

Stocking up. Have your kids describe the special attractions of gas stations and rest stops.

By now your family video trip record is growing!
