We did this last year, too. In fact this will be our third year in a row going to the same place. It's only a 90 minute drive (no more than) from our house, but it's sooo different than the city. We love it.
So it's time to start packing- or at least getting a list together.
My stuff (the H packs his own crap, tyvm):
clothes- panties, bras, tops, bottoms, socks, pj's, extras
shoes- gym shoes, flip flops
hair shit
toiletries- beyond hair shit (don't forget deodorant)
camera
batteries
Lovie's stuff (very random order):
Baby dolls- Grandma bear, Baby doll, Seahorse are absolute musts
PJs- footed, non footed
noise machine
diapers
wipes
sippy cups
shoes
clothes- shorts, dresses, tops, skorts, pants, sweatshirt
bathing suit
sun hat
sunblock
toys for the car
toys for the hotel room
toys for restaurants
toys for sight seeing
jacket
socks
prune juice
cheerios
frozen peas (I really don't think she can do without!)
nutrigrain bars
pacifiers
baby shampoo
comb
hair stuff
kid motrin
toothbrush
stroller!
books
floaters for pool
sand toys
OMG this is way more than we had to bring last year when she was itty bitty like this:
Now, we're gonna need two cars... and we're only going for two nights! And I'm sure I'm missing something...amiright? Help!
Look at those chunky legs!! I want to nom immediately.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at how much crap we have to bring with us for Pie. I do my lists grouped in activities. So all the things I need for cleanliness (diapers, wipes, soap, toothbrush, etc). All the things I need for dressing (shoes, socks, shorts). All the things I need for play, swim, car. Somehow that helps me make sure nothing important gets forgotten.
Plus I figure there are Targets everywhere so if I do forget something, no big deal.
And to round out this really long comment...happy anniversary and have a great trip!!!
I'm taking a toddler and a then-9month old on vacation.
ReplyDeleteFor 12 days.

Is she gonna sleep in the Pea Pod again? Does she need sheets/blankets?
ReplyDeleteJust trying to help.
Have so much fun, woman!!
I hear you! I feel like every time we take the kids anywhere overnight (even for just 1 night) we have to take our whole house!!! It does get easier, though, when you don't have to pack diapers and all that crap anymore. Rylie is actually pretty easy to take now if I just take her.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys are having a good time, despite all of the sickies I see in your Twitter feed. Happy Anniversary!
