Journaling: Summer Vacation

It's been a while since I've issued a journaling "throw down" but I thought it would be fun to kind of kick things up a bit. Here it is:

Jot down an entry in your journal about your summer trip(s) and outings. Even if you just answer the following questions you'll have captured the cool.

1. Where did you go? (art museum, state park, camping, etc.)
2. Describe what your trip was like (show it through your words - paint the details)
   
3. Who went with you?
4. When did you go?
   
5. What was the best part?
6. What was the worst part?

If you have a photo or ticket stubs throw them in your journal too (there are no rules against it, just tape them in and you're set)

Feel free to share one of your outings as a comment!

Here's something I did this summer...

1. Farmers Market, Salt Lake City, Utah
2. The Farmers Market feels like a carnival. Cross the city street, enter Pioneer Park and you are immersed in people, tented mini-stores of all sorts, fresh vegetables, music and dogs of all kinds on leashes. Everybody seems to have taken a collective breath of relief leaving everyday life in a different place. Music floats in the air wherever you are, from blues on the guitar to a kid playing the flute. There are $6 mini-back massages, breakfast vendors (our favorite is the strawberry lemonade and crepe vendor) and tons of things to see like hand crafted jewelry, soaps, pottery, garden art, pressed flowers, fresh vegetables, etc.
3. Emily
4. Saturday, August 9th, 2008 (Eric dropped us off and went to work)
5. The best part of the morning spent at the Farmer's Market? Taking our time and not rushing anywhere, just getting to explore and see everything at our own pace, feeling the sunshine, smelling the good things cooking, and seeing the hand crafted art and the dogs hanging out all over the place.
6. We learned the hard way that we'd leave the scooters in the car the next time we go.

I bet you have more than one summer outing to capture! Whether it's an afternoon running through the sprinklers, a dip at the local pool or a vacation. I think it's important to remember what was good about it, for you!
