how to create memories that last forever with loved ones

    1. Travel with Loved Ones

    The most important thing you can do is to travel with loved ones. I have traveled with my wife and kids and it's the best experiences of my life.
    Let me tell you some stories:
    A) When I was 23, I went on a trip to Israel with my parents. It was the first time we had ever traveled together. And it was a disaster! But it forced us to confront our issues and we've been close ever since.
    B) My kids are always asking me, "Dad, can we go on another trip?" And I say, "No, we just went on one." They say, "But that was fun!" So...we're going again this summer (to Japan).
    C) My wife and I went to Italy for our 20th anniversary (a few years ago). We were in Venice for our actual anniversary but then stayed for two more weeks after that. It's one of the best trips of my life. She even wrote a book about it called "Packing Light" because she only brought one suitcase for the entire trip (and still had plenty of stuff).
    D) Every year now we go somewhere in the US during July 4th weekend. The first few times we did this it was just the three of us but now extended family comes along as well. We rent an RV and drive from city to city seeing fireworks shows all over the country. This year we'll probably be in Denver but other years has included cities like San Francisco, Chicago (where they shoot off hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks), New York (where there's always a giant display right near where the twin towers used to be), etc.
    E) When Robyn was pregnant with our daughter, I took her out every night for dinner during her pregnancy until she gave birth. Some people might think that's weird but it wasn't at all because it forced us to spend quality time together during what would have otherwise been stressful months if she were by herself at home waiting around for labor pains while watching TV or whatever else people do when they are waiting for labor pains .

    2. Don't argue while traveling with loved ones

    When you travel with loved ones there will inevitably be arguments that arise out of nowhere and seem totally irrational once they are over. But don't let those arguments get out of control while you are traveling together or the trip will forever be tainted by those arguments even if everything else is great about your vacation or trip together.

    3. Write down memories as soon as possible after returning from traveling with loved ones

    Retelling memories helps them last forever. But unfortunately memories fade quickly unless you write them down immediately after returning from a trip or vacation with someone you care about (or even if not). Here's how I do it: First, I use Evernote to make an "EverNotebook" dedicated solely to that memory or trip so that nothing gets lost among other notes I'm taking at the same time (I use Evernote almost every day so anything goes into Evernote). Then each day during or after your trip take some time and write down everything you remember about various aspects of your trip: sights seen, food eaten, conversations had, etcetera.. This way when you look back later on these notes you'll see things in much greater detail than if you simply retell stories verbally later on without having written them down first . Not only does this help memories last longer but also allows others who weren't there to read about what happened as well . Plus writing things down helps solidify memories in your mind so when someone asks later on about details
