The Everything Kids' Travel Activity Book - (Everything(r) Kids) by Erik A Hanson & Jeanne Hanson (Paperback)
Lonely Planet also has a version of this book for adults, but I think kids are never too young to learn about the whole world around them. I think it's great for them to learn about so many different cultures and find places that they may want to tra...

There are so many countries to travel to. Some of which I didn't really learn about until I was older. This book can help you make a comprehensive list of every country you want to travel to before you die.
Lonely Planet the Travel Book - 4th Edition (Paperback)
Each state has something special to offer and this book proves it. It provides multiple things to do and it's not just the well-known tourist sites. Many recommendations are much more unexpected.
50 States 5,000 Ideas : Where to Go, When to Go, What to See, What to Do (Paperback) (Joe Yogerst)
The ultimate bucket list book. It covers a wide variety of experiences one may want to embark on wherever they want to visit.
1,000 Places to See Before You Die : The New Full Color (Paperback) (Patricia Schultz)
I personally really enjoy just going out on a random Saturday or just doing a quick little trip in one day. This book will help you figure out some ideas on what to do no matter where you live in the United States.
Fodor's Best Weekend Road Trips - (Full-Color Travel Guide) by Fodor's Travel Guides (Paperback)
This is a little bit different than most of the books I'm recommending but I've always loved seeing and hearing about different road trips and this book shares insight into how they all started and became a beloved family tradition.
Don't Make Me Pull Over! : An Informal History of the Family Road Trip - Reprint by Richard Ratay (Paperback)

A beautifully designed book with plenty of space to write about all of your favorite trips. It also holds extra pages to place things such as pictures and ticket stubs.
My Travel Journal - (Heirloom Story Books and Guided Journals) by Korie Herold (Hardcover)
This one is for the kids that want a little bit more space to write about the trip that they just went on :)
Travel Journal for Kids 8.5"x5.5" Teal - Kahootie Co: Undated Wire-Bound Notebook, 140 Pages, Hard Cover, Preprinted
Another one from Lonely Planet! But specifically made for kids. This one is truly one of a kind though because there's so many activities kids can partake in as part of the trip including drawing their own passport picture, sketching their hotel room...
Lonely Planet Kids Create Your Own Travel Journal|Hardcover
I like this journal because of the questions it asks you as you reflect on your trip as well as its faux leather cover :)

This book allows you to add every detail about the trip. From a packing list to expenses. This also acts as a journal as well :)

A great book to write things down such as a daily schedule for your trips and lists for places such as restaurants to go to
