Going away for a weekend with your kids? Me, too! Here’s my detailed, tongue-in-cheek guide for how to pack when traveling with kids! Especially if you’re a disorganized mom like me. This is the reality of packing with little kids around: the guide on how not to pack for a weekend away with kids.
Enjoy!
Sometimes, you go somewhere and it turns out to be so wonderful that you want to share it with everyone you know. Our stay at the the Captain Bell House Bed and Breakfast in Vermilion, Ohio was one of those times!
We had wanted to go up to Michigan for a week. However, some circumstances forced us to wait. Except, I didn’t want to forgo vacation entirely. I had to get out of town!
I also had to have a beach!
“We have to go back. I forgot something,” I said, as we were pulling out of our driveway, toward Vermilion.
To his credit, my husband didn’t sigh or roll his eyes. He just turned the car around. Our destination was a small town on Lake Erie, only about 2 hours away from us and an hour from Cleveland . Vermilion, Ohio is a great little place . In fact, the town motto is “A Small Town on a Great Lake” and it’s true! It’s small, quaint, and adorable. Oh, there’s also a beach!
A beach vacation in Ohio?!
Yep!
The Columbus Zoo is far more famous than I realized, thanks to Jack Hanna. We have a membership, visit often, and the zoo visits were the best thing ever last summer with my 2 and 3 year old children. I’ve had my membership for one year now and we are at the point where neither child wants to be worn OR ride in a stroller. What’s a mom to do?
