I have been having some cabin fever as of late and need to get the heck of out of the house. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that almost 2 weeks ago we had this big thaw, and the temp got up to 60 degrees, and the next day there was a snow storm, and I had to miss work because we lost power and had to hand bail the sump pump all morning. Nothing like one extreme to the next within 24 hours. So we've decided to take the kids and run this weekend. We are headed to Splash Lagoon, which is an indoor water park in Erie, PA, about 1.5 hours from us. We are looking to being away for the night and just relaxing with the kids. This will be the first trip with all 5 of us that Colin can actually have fun at. Last summer we went on Vacation to Hershey with our Friends Heather & Travis, and had a great time, but Colin was only 11 months old, and it was just a couple week before his surgery, so he was in the midst of some pretty severe ear infections. he was miserable and didn't sleep at all (neither did mommy & daddy). So I've spent the morning packing, while waiting for Mike to get home from work. As I am done packing now, I can't believe how much STUFF you need for a family of 5 to go away for ONE night (2 days). All I can think about is if this is how we need for one night, what in the world are we going to do come October(this is assuming Mike gets the time off) and have to pack for a WEEK-5 people- limited luggage since we'll be flying then moved to a ship which as limited space to begin with?? I am going to have to get seriously creative in the next couple of months!
This is organizing everything we needed before getting it stored in the suitcase. Mind you, I only packed 1 set of PJ's for each, and one set of clothing for tomorrow for each, expect the boys, they each have 3, because 1- Colin gets car sick and you never know & 2- Caden is getting potty trained, we have LOTS of accidents. Other then that, we just needed all of our bathing suits, 5 towels, everyday toiletries & the Pack and play. My oh my, doesn't sound like much right??
Look at what it adds up to be?? A whole lot for just a night!
