This coming weekend, President's weekend, my husband's extended family goes away to the Pocono's. There are probably a total of 50 - 60 of us in 4-5 houses throughout the area. Some people ski, lots of people don't, we bring lots of food, games for the kids and generally have a great time. (Not always relaxing, but a great time anyway!)
Last year when we went I was pregnant, so aside from extra snacks for me (I was starving every minute of the first trimester), we didn't have to do anything extra to get away.
Now that we travel with our little one (who will be nearly 6 months) the amount of stuff to bring is staggering!
Diapers and wipes for a full weekend, Pack 'n Play for him to sleep in, Booster seat for him to eat in, Excer-saucer for him to bounce in, baby food, formula, breast pump, bottles, bowls, spoons, clothes, sheets, blankets, pacifiers, books, toys, and on and on.
So there's a part of me that always asks "Is this worth it?"
But once the family who hasn't met him yet gets to playing with him, and I see his fascination with all the new things he'll be seeing, and how excited all his cousin's are to spend time with him, I know its all worthwhile!
Off to clean and pack!
sky's the limit
