So, as I prepare for my annual pilgrimage to Fla. w/my kids for St Patty's Day, I think of all my must-haves for the trip. I used to make a list for myself & check it all off before I left but, I'm anal enough about it to pretty much check as I go now. I'll share w/you in list form just to show you how much stuff it takes to go on a big car trip w/2 toddlers. All of this is in addition to suitcases full of clothes!
1. Snacks & sippy cups & as well as any other food that I don't want to have to buy when I first get there
2. Travel toys & books & portable DVD player w/DVDs
3. Toiletry & first-aid/medicines for kids
4. Pack-n-Play for Emily to sleep in
5. White noise machine (yes, I do take it w/us & it really helps)
6. Stocked diaper bag for the road trip
7. Sun shades for kid's windows (even w/tinted windows, you still get the sun beaming them in the face while they're trying to sleep)
8. Beach bag w/bathing suits, swimdiapers, sunscreen, hats etc.
9. Stroller -wouldn't be caught anywhere without it!
10. Kid's favorite blankets/stuffed animals for sleeping with
That's pretty much it & it pretty much fills up my car! Luckily for me, my Mom has a high chair & booster chair at her house already so, that's one last thing I have to bring. Now, I haven't traveled on an airplane w/both kids so, don't know how I'd do it. Maybe somebody will share their tips with me!
