Creating a Senior Send-Off Book for Mom/Daughter trip to Florida

[Krisscot]

Hi Everyone!
I apologize in advance for the semi-long post/request. I am taking my youngest daughter to WDW and Universal for our final big family(mom/daughter) trip before she goes off to college. We haven't been to WDW for probably 12 years (last time when she was 5 years old). We used to be a family that would try to go every few years, but my ex-husband left 5 years ago and my oldest daughter, in her anger, doesn't like to participate in anything family anymore. So it has been just my youngest daughter and I for the last several years. We moved from Arizona, a year ago, so I could take a teaching job in Texas. Moving at the end of her high school years has been really hard for her. So I decided to take her to Florida as a final hoorah and send off as a senior in high school and graduation, hopefully creating wonderful memories for her to take to college. I have saved and we are going to go all out for a great fall break trip.

*I would like to put together a kind of itinerary/memory/scrapbook for her to keep as a memento of our trip. Something that would have what(when) we are doing, some spaces for writing memories, space for autographs (even big kids like autographs), and places she can glue in pictures.. If anyone could help me create anything/a portion of something that I could put together for her, I would be IMMENSLY grateful! Anything and everything would be most appreciated. Here are the plans for the trip.

I made this from my Teppan-yaki Kit

Here's an example of a page that I made for a book for my daughter. I wait until after our trip, then create the layout using my favorite pictures, write up what we did throughout the trip, special moments, etc.

My daughter was never big on autographs, but if that's something to add, you can have her get those on smaller pieces of paper and add them to the book.

I will say the books I've made have been time intensive, but the results have been worth it.

That is very cool! I am planning on doing a before and after book. The before will be like a itinerary of what is on the trip, that I can giver her before we leave. Then I will edit all the pics and memories in after.

I'm sure she will love the final result! I've yet to put together our photo book from our trip to Iceland and that was back in April.
