Overwhelmed with packing for your summer vacation? Don’t miss this simple checklist for summer travel with your family!
Last year I did a lot of moping about being stuck at home all summer long. I was pretty pouty about missing my annual family beach trip. Admittedly, I was an unpleasant preggers.
This year? I’m packing up my family and we’re going on that trip. We all deserve a vacation – a chance to let go of the rules and play. And enjoy a margarita of four. Okay, maybe not for the kids.
While family beach trips are all about the fun, it’s still important to keep a few routines in place. We can’t have total bedlam. To that end, I have a wee little checklist that helps me when planning a trip with the kids.
Emergency kit: Always be prepared! Scraped knees, bee stings, and fevers can happen anywhere. Be sure to have band-aids, Neosporin, children’s medications and a thermometer packed somewhere easily accessible.
Kids’ Hygiene Supplies: Unfortunately germs don’t take a vacation just because we do, so we make sure to bring our Listerine Total Care products with us to stay totally take care of on vacation! I always pack my childrens’ regular toothpaste with us (as they are quite particular about their flavors), but I try and get fun toothbrushes just for vacations.
And, because the mouthwash bottles are big, I pour some into travel size bottles along with the shampoo and bubble bath. Nobody wants bad breath, especially when on vacation! Plus, the kids have gotten into a really good habit of using Listerine Smart Rinse. No sense in getting out of the habit on vacation!
Sun Protection: Stock up before you leave. And buy at least two more bottles than you think you’ll need. I’m always shocked at how much sunscreen I go through on beach trips!
Play Toys: I always hit up Walgreens before going to the beach! There are usually plenty of sand and water toys, and at much better prices than you’ll find once you get to your destination.
Looking forward to your family beach vacation? Be sure to hit up Walgreen’s for your supplies including Listerine Total Care and Smart Rinse, , sunscreen, first aid supplies and… toys!
Happy travels!
