We did that too. I had the Salvation Army come pick up a bunch of stuff that we didn't want to haul with us, and we also rented a dumpster to toss a whole bunch of other junk that we didn't need. Felt good to lighten the load so much!PartnerInCrimehttp://www.poobou.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692181365660727544.post-45560391320065687892010-11-06T20:18:29.525-07:002010-11-06T20:18:29.525-07:00Thanks!

She will definitely have some stuffed animals in the car, too! <br />Just packed our swim suits, hoping the pools are indoors or at least heated! You're soooo right about it helping all of us relax! <br />Talked to DH about laundry and since we have to take two cars, he is just going to bring our normal laundry stuff and we have a collapsable laundry hamper so that will make it easier.<br />We fully expect to have to get all of us back into a schedule once we finally arrive since, as you pointed out, the kiddo will have to burn off some steam once we get into the hotel rooms. Thankfully, DH got us 2 room suites or adjoining rooms so Miss C can have some space to run around!<br />Still trying to weed out some junk from the house so we aren't just moving stuff to throw it out! <br />Ok, all, keep the suggestions rolling!LizardBreathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896050674030747216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692181365660727544.post-66463724644957728312010-11-05T09:34:18.622-07:002010-11-05T09:34:18.622-07:00Hmm...

Kind of fun to break out the swimsuits in November, and it'd be a fun activity for Miss C after sitting in the car all day. (Plus sitting in the water might help ease YOUR muscles after driving all day too!) That's good that you've planned for a lot of stops, but do remember that she'll probably go berserk when you get to the hotels at night because she'll have so much energy to burn. At least, that's what happened with us when we ended up on our never-ending road trip in the UK last Christmas! <br /><br />I would also say, grab a couple of those sample-size detergents from the travel section of the drug store. Most hotels & motels have laundry facilities for guests (you just need quarters), so you could do some laundry halfway through your trip and not have to worry about getting to your new house with a car full of clothes that need to be washed right away. <br /><br />Make sure you bring any toys that Miss C might want for comfort. C-girl has a thing for her stuffed animals, so we usually bring at least 2 or 3 every time we go on a trip. They help her get to sleep when we settle into the hotel. <br /><br />Good luck! It'll probably be more fun than you expect. For me, the anxiety about moving is usually MUCH worse than the actual move itself. Hope we get to see you guys when you pass through!PartnerInCrimehttp://www.poobou.com/noreply@blogger.com
