We brought a few items that have proved so useful this summer that I think they deserve some recognition. We highly recommend the following for a trip like this:
Bungee cord. Our only gripe with this is that we only brought one. It’s excellent for Macguyver-style baby-proofing, securing groceries or a pizza box on your bike, and more.
Swiss army knife. Whether we needed tweezers for splinter removal or a knife for slicing my flat-and-wound-up-in-my-bike-spokes tire free, this was an excellent and compact tool.
Inflatable bedrail. Instantly transforms any regular bed into a safe place for Dean to sleep.
Travel booster seat. This little thing was impressively sturdy and kept Dean well contained at home and in restaurants.
First aid kit. Probably a no-brainer, but I was amazed at how often I turned to my trusty kit. I learned never to leave the house without it!
GPS device. Intuition is great when there are no road signs telling you which windy road to take, but knowing which direction your traveling — and maybe even having a map — is even better.
What didn’t we need? A billion diapers. Every grocery store I’ve entered in this country has had them for sale. Other than that, I think we packed pretty admirably.
