![]() Today I want to share with you some info on what to pack for babies and toddlers, and I have a free printable checklist to help you with your packing. I have learned a lot during my years of travel with kids, and now with two toddlers (do I have to start calling them toddlers- can’t they stay my babies) I find it even more important to make sure I have everything in order, and that I am prepared for surprises along the way. I am so glad on that trip that I had thought ahead to put a onesie under his pajamas, even if the reason I had done it was not the reason it ended up being a good idea. The Goof at age 1 on his first trip to California. Thankfully, we made it down to California just fine and the Goof was able to enjoy his time…though we did end up with an ER trip as well, but that is a story for another day. Now every time we go down to California, when we drive by or stop at that gas station, I think about changing my poor little guy as semis sped by. Thankfully, I had put a onesie on under his pajamas for easy changing when we got to Vegas, and the onesie had protected his pajamas so we didn’t have to dig out a new set of PJs. ![]() As I took him out of the car seat I found he had a complete blow out! Something he had not had since he was a newborn. I went back to check on him and give him a bottle. As Mike went in to use the restroom, The Goof woke up crying. It was only 28° outside, and semis were driving by at random. I still have not figured out why, but Mike pulled into the pump closest to the highway to get gas. ![]() We stopped on the side of the highway in a tiny little town to get gas. I told my husband “when we make it to Jackpot, we will find a hotel there and stay the night.” Except the snow stopped the second we crossed the Nevada border, so we carried on. We were driving so slow and could barely see anything. We were driving over night, taking back highways from Idaho to Vegas before hopping on the freeway. We took our niece and were going down to surprise them with a trip to the happiest place on earth. The Goof was about a year old, and it was March. It was his first road trip since when he was 2 months old (yes, we took a 2 month old on a 10 day, 7 state road trip). I remember the Goof’s first trip to California.
