Answer 1

Get your 7 favorite shirts, then 7 jeans, capris shorts or whatever, then make sure to bring like 3 extra shirts just incase of anything, then bring like 1 pair of extra jeans? and make sure u absoultly bring your pjs! HAHA

Answer 2

In different one gallon zip lock bags, individually roll the kids

T-shirts, shorts and underwear.

Squeeze the air out.

Place the bags in their suitcase.

If you do this, then dirty clothes never touch clean clothes. Come laundry time, you won’t have to sort laundry and you’ll probably have less to wash

Here are a few ideas on how to pack for a 7-day vacation to California in July.

Each person should only pack what they need. Most children over the age of 4 should be able to easily carry or pull on rollers, their personal stuff from the car to the hotel room, cabin or tent in 1 trip from the car. If you can’t, then you’ve packed too much!

1. Each person (kids over 4 included) gets their own toiletry bag. Don’t make mom responsible for everyone.

2. Pack enough summer clothes for 3 days plus a pair of long pants and nice shirt.

3. While at the pool, do the laundry

4. Toiletries - pack a tooth brush, tooth paste, comb or hair brush, soap etc for each person. Blow dryers etc... maybe.

5. Pajamas: No girlie or tacky sleepwear - bring something that can substitute for a pair of shorts or a shirt just in case of a clothing disaster.

6. Bring 2-pairs of shoes: walking shoes and sandals

7. Bring a Windbreaker of some sort.

8. Sweatshirts or Polar fleece jackets – If you are going to buy souvenirs, buy a sweatshirt or jacket. It’s a useful souvenir and the memory will last until it’s worn out or out grown.

9. Pack the swimsuits and towels separately. You’ll probably want to use them as soon as you get to the destination.

Answer 4

Pick two or three bottoms to take (capris, jeans, shorts, etc.) and alternate days.

Take one or two sweaters, you probably won't need a coat.

The other tops, take a few thicker ones or more thinner ones. They're easier to pack. I find that rolling my clothes helps with packing. If you happen to get all your clothes dirty, ask your fam if you can wash there.

It's just like us girls to want to take all of our faves but it's necessary to cut down. Hey, it's only family right?! Have fun!
