Pack full days of clothes together
I put a complete outfit with socks and underwear rolled up together in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
If traveling to more than one location pack a family bag so that you don’t have to transfer all of your belongings from the car to the hotel.
Stay in places with a kitchen
I will do a Sam’s run before we leave and grab food. We like to stay in places that have kitchen access. And I will bring my Keurig and AirFryer and make simple meals like hotdogs, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and stirfry.
Hit up your library
Before we go on a trip we head to the library for new books, DVDs, and audiobooks. We have brand new content our kids have never seen that keeps them engaged and interested.
Also, apps like Libby and Overdrive help us listen to audiobooks for free with our library membership.
