*Adding dish soap for Katie. I don't have a bottle brush so I think I'll buy one or I'll try using a wash cloth. Thanks Katie! :)
I tend to overpack. LOL Ü
I wonder if there will be room for the passengers?
I also had to board Kosh & pack him. Yes, I pack for the dog. He is part of the family, after all. ;o)
Tomorrow a.m. we need to drop off Kosh (oh he's going to be so mad!), pay the yard man & grab some cash.
We are off! By then someone should need a potty break. LOL :o)
See you next week! Ü

Oh my.....it was hard enough on our vacation to just pack for us and ONE baby...so I cannot imagine four.
Funny, we packed so many of the exact same things on our list that you did! Are you taking your bottle brush and dish soap to wash more bottles or do you have enough already clean? I tend to wash bottles each night from the entire day. Just curious.
Have so much fun and enjoy your family!
You deserve it!
Katie
Have fun! Try not to come home more tired than when you left....!!!
Oh man, I feel for you. I had to pack for 5 for a 2 week road trip and like you, I always pack way too much, but we survived.
Just one question.... Why Gavelston in July????? I have been there in July and thought I was going to die.
That is a lot of packing. As a chronic over-packer, I hear ya on the list making:) I hope you guys have a great time!
I'm LOVING the new layout, by the way!
