Simplify #FamilyTravel with a Hotel Bag
On our recent road trip, I packed one bag with all of our overnight essentials to cut down on the number of bags/things we would have to lug into the hotel from the car. Now that we have a baby, we tend to come with quite a bit more “stuff” than we used to. So, I decided it would be smart to consolidate all of our hotel essentials into one bag. My hotel bag inventory was as follows:
Pajamas for mom, dad, and baby
Two outfits for baby (in case one got…..soiled)
Clean shirts for mom and dad (can wear yesterday’s jeans again)
Clean socks and underwear for mom and dad
Toiletry items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, face wash, etc)
Two overnight cloth diapers (for me this meant two double-stuffed BumGenius diapers)
Hair brush and comb
Wall chargers for iPad and cell phone
Blankets for the pack-n-play
With all of that in one bag, we just needed to lug in that bag, along with the Graco pack-n-play and the diaper bag and we were set for a night in the hotel. We were actually able to carry the baby and all of our necessary “stuff” in one trip from the car. It worked out well!
