My internet connection may fail at any moment, so I’ll make this brief. For all of you about to embark on “vacation” with several small children, while this information is fresh in my mind, let me share some advice:
1. Pringles in the car (thanks, Kacy!)–they’re food AND a toy.
2. Dum-dum suckers. Small, satisfying, and stop noise, but sticky. Somewhere in Nevada, I didn’t mind the sticky part.
3. Empty, large paper or plastic cups for the boys for that stretch of road between Vegas and Primm that inched by for hours with no place to stop.
4. Hand sanitizer in all its forms (see #3).
5. Antibacterial wipes in purse, car, diaper bag, stroller (see #2 and #3).
6. Laptop with power inverter and earplugs for mom. If you can’t hear “Mom!MOM! MOM!” a million times, and only a few thousand, it helps. It really does.
7. Advil (see #6)
8. Print off coupons for sights you’re going to see. Like Legoland (more on that later).
9. Funny side note: I just yelled “Go play with your Legos!” to Hugh who is whining and whining and won’t stop, and he just told me “You’re not going to make my cake for my birthday anymore!” as if it were a threat. Remember the wad of cash we just spent at Legoland? YOU’RE WELCOME.
10. Video camera, camera, and drawing journals so the children remember that you did, actually, do something fun and did, in reality, take them places and make fun family memories.
Havin’ fun in San Diego! Stay Sweet! See You Soon!
