Vacationing with Kids- What to Pack?

   Rule one of vacationing with kids: don’t vacation with kids.  Oh, your tickets are already purchased? Then you’d better stock up on Ziploc bags. (Take it from a mother who’s needed a few.)  We asked our listeners on our Facebook page for their packing essentials and got dozens of responses. In this episode we dig through them all– and also discuss what might be better off left behind. Here’s links to a few resources we discuss in the episode: SeatGuru, for checking your in-flight entertainment options before you get to the airport (although Rule Two of Vacationing with Kids is: Always Have a Backup). WorkFlowy, for easy packing-list-making. Do it once, keep it forever. Amazon Video and Netflix apps, both of which offer downloadable content (h/t to The Mom Hour: don’t start downloading fifteen minutes before you leave for the airport!) Don’t head off for your summer vacation until you listen! Did we forget anything? Let us know in the comments!
