Road trips, vacations, and weekend getaways have looked very different over the years. But, what has mostly remained the same is our list of must haves for all our adventures. After a decade together, 6 countries, 1 kid, 1 dog and six months living on the road we have almost mastered our pack lists. Now it’s just a matter of triple checking them before we take off!  

As you plan your spring and summer adventures consider these must have items for all your road trips, vacations and weekend getaways with and without kids! I’ve found that organization is key and having functional travel bags dedicated to packing specific items is extremely helpful. One thing both my husband and I do is always keep a bathroom travel bag packed. It’s packed with our essential toiletries at all times . That way it’s easy to grab-n-go or at least have a good start to your travel bathroom items. Mine is a bit bigger than his because it includes makeup and face products just to name a few. 

We try to do the same for Kade and Ruko Blu too. Having items pre-packed or at least dedicated bags to hold their travel items is very helpful. Our lists go on and on from travel snacks to entertainment to water fun and everything in between! Today I’m sharing my most recommended travel items with you! You’ll see I focused on bathroom essentials, spending time water fun, toddler gear, and must haves for travel days.
