How to pack

So how do we pack?

This may seem like a strange question, coming from a veteran of Disney travel such as myself. But, this time, we aren't just packing for the hubby and myself. This go around, we are also packing for Logan, our one year old son.

When we first started talking about packing about two weeks ago, Andy and I really didn't think to much about it. I mean how hard could packing really be? After all we do it all the time. Because of this we took our time, we procrastinated not really worrying about it at all.

Until last night. When we realized we had less than 48 hours before we would be hitting the road. And the only thing we had packed was about four feet of snow outside our Northern Virginia home. So like two crazy people we began shuffling through the laundry, through drawers, scrambling for the outfits that would make his vacation debut just right.

And soon we realized, it wasn't the clothes that was the issue. No, it was actually the small things. The bottles, the baby food. The diapers and the toys for the car ride down. Its all the essential things, that until you start packing you considered non essential.

Its the medicines that you have never used before but now you should bring because this will probably be the week he decides to get sick.

Of course, the most important thing to pack is the little one. After all, isn't he the reason we need the stuff anyway?
