Off we go!

We're about to embark on our very first vacation with The Boy. Normally, for a week long vacation, John and I can make do with one carry on each.  But for this trip, we'll both have two carry ons, plus we're checking two bags and a stroller.  Four of the six bags we're taking (plus the stroller) are for Alex.  AND, the minute we hit San Diego, we'll have to go straight to the store for diapers and food because I didn't want to pack that stuff. 

Now, I have a tendency to overpack anyway, but this just seems ridiculous.  I've gone over and over it, and yes, we have to take all this crap.  Here's the breakdown:

• Bag 1 (check):  All that is in this bag is his playpen. I'm going to try to shove some flip flops in there too, just so it doesn't seem so silly to have one whole bag with just a play pen.



• Bag 2 (check):  A portable high chair.  All of his bath stuff, including his medicated lotions, and hypoallergenic soaps (have to take all of this because of his super sensitive mutant eczema).  All of his clothes and jammies.  Bibs and baby spoons.  His ComicCon outfit (he's going to be dressed as Darth Vader).  Baby sunblock and beach towels.



• Bag 3 (carry on):  Toys. 



• Bag 4 (carry on):  Diaper bag full of supplies to last one day



• Bag 5 (carry on):  John's stuff



• Bag 6 (carry on):  My stuff



• Stoller (check)

So, I think that covers it.  I can't think of a single thing that we may need that I haven't already either packed or planned for.  Of course, as always we'll get there and find out I've forgotten our toothbrushes or something...
