SCRAPBOOKING -
Family Style!
After a family explores fun places (on weeklong vacations or maybe just lots of
little day trips) . . . what’s the best thing to do with all those brochures,
postcards, photos and thoughtful memories?
George and Michele Zavatsky, authors of the
best-selling “KIDS LOVE” travel series, think they the simple answer. They were
inspired by fellow travelers to design “KIDS LOVE TRAVEL MEMORIES! – A Family’s
Keepsake Book for Scrap-booking all the Fun Places You’ve Visited!”
But, why this book . . .and what’s so unique about it?
The Zavatsky’s, as a family, are
thankful to be called “the family that goes on vacation for a living”. Over the
years, they have spent thousands of hours traveling to and writing about
kid-friendly places to visit. While promoting their books, they met thousands of
people who have the same great thrill . . . planning the next big adventure,
watching the eyes of the kids, and talking about all the fun times. They
encouraged a travel journal and scrapbook to remember those great times, but had
many questions about how to assemble these journeys into a quick and easy
format. Generally, just one family member (usually Mom!) was assigned the task
of endless, time-consuming scrap-booking.
A simple solution: Compile the best of the best . . .
thoughts to remember, ways to remember them, and artwork and graphics that
trigger the memories of the special places in a family’s history book. If you
can imagine, each family member is able to simply categorize their travel
memories. Kids can color pictures and paste photos while parents and older
siblings easily answer travel questions on the journal pages.
A sampling of what you’ll find in each chapter:
 | Amusements:
Been sliding down a coaster? Visited a prehistoric forest or hung out in the
Old West? This place was voted the biggest “tourist trap” and we sure fell in
. . . |
| Animals & Farms:
Are there really nice snakes or pampered fish? Do buffalo still roam? Do
wolves still howl at the moon? Which dairy farm makes the best ice cream? |
| History:
Skipped stones near the homes of Washington, Boone, or famous Native
Americans? Seen where government convenes? Would you enjoy pioneer daily
chores? |
| Museums:
Visited museums on wars, music or modes of transportation? The all out best
Children’s Museum we found was? A place you pretended to be a jockey, a pilot,
a heart, a captain or a miner. |
| Outdoor
Exploring: The best “fish story” we heard. Climbed up a real lighthouse or
hiked across giant bridges recently? Heard the roar of wonderful waterfalls or
the gentle drips of stalactites, or the echo-o-o of a canyon? |
| Seasonal &
Special Events: Eat your way through apple, cherry, berry, ice cream,
maple and popcorn festivals. Festivals of Lights, train rides with Santa,
fireworks shows, pumpkin patches or Easter egg hunts. Our favorite seasonal
festival and what we liked.. |
| Sports: Ever
pretended you’re running out of a virtual locker room in many Hall of Fames?
The best way we’ve tried to get a sport’s stars autograph was … |
| The Arts:
Have you discovered unique things that can be called “art”. The curtains up!
Concerts & plays we saw and loved. |
| Theme
Restaurants: Some new foods the kids tried. Have you tasted foods like
burgoo, hobos, gorilla grilled cheese or hot browns? Ever eaten in a old
schoolhouse, a train depot, a log cabin, a riverboat, a firehouse, or a 50’s
diner? |
| Tours: Seen
how castles or toys are made? Watched food factories make candy, cheese, ice
cream, and snack foods? We got our favorite free souvenir at … |
KIDS LOVE TRAVEL MEMORIES! can be a fun book to use on your journeys or to
assemble in the off-season as a family around the kitchen table. What becomes of
each scrapbook is what everyone contributes. It is a special family creation
that becomes your book to be proudly displayed on any coffee table, in any
family’s home.
The Zavatsky’s say their ultimate mission statement is
“…that your children will develop a love and passion for quality family travel
experiences that they can pass on to another generation of family travelers.”
They add, “many times, some of our fondest memories were not made at an
expensive attraction, but rather when it was least expected”. Now you have a way
to keep-sake all those special times!
