At the beginning of the month we took a little family road trip to Cincinnati to visit some of our old favorite places and some friends from when we lived there. Feeling out of practice with traveling in general made prepping to do a 5-hour drive and several out-and-about vacation days with a baby in tow even more daunting, but luckily some friends loaned us their house since they were gone - complete with baby gates and a crib - so I didn't have to worry about too much gear... And of course I made things easier on myself by coming up with a little mix & match wardrobe capsule!
I didn't end up with exactly this configuration in my suitcase, but close. Laying it out like this and quickly trying on the outfits in advance definitely helped me know what would work for our various activities and how much I'd need to bring - which then freed up time for figuring out kid suitcases, travel snacks, etc.
Thought it would be fun to share the lineup since it made for such a great collage, and a great mix of outfits - good for hot weather, kid-friendly outings like the zoo and children's museum, dinners out at restaurants and a friend's house, and even an outdoor concert for Peter and me (another bonus of visiting friends: they have trusted babysitters you can borrow!). Maybe foolhardy, but I even went to Graeter's for our must-have Cincinnati ice cream while wearing the white denim shorts and it all worked out great.
