When we were planning our trip, I read that a great way to get kids involved in a historical trip was to provide them with journals and encourage them to write about their experiences. They loved the idea and really took journaling to heart - we often had to stop so they could write things down. Elizabeth's entries were extremely detailed, while Emily's journal often said simple (and hilarious things) like "The walk was long. The flowers were beautiful." I'm so glad we bought the journals for them, as they will always have them as keepsakes of our trip.
