The 40 Essential Items to 24 Days on the Road with Your Kids


The 40 Essential Items to 24 Days on the Road with Your Kids
ie:  The Packing List

19 days from right now, I'll be taking off with my four kids (ages 16, 8, 5, and 1) on a grand adventure of a road trip.  We'll be visiting 14 states in 24 days and camping IN THE CAR!  I'll be posting on how we're fitting an air mattress in the back of the van here soon.  So, here's the conundrum: I have to be able to fit everything from the trunk in the front two seats for sleeping.  Here, I'll show you....
This is the layout of the van.  See the trunk space?  See the front seat space?  Well, the whole list of stuff, minus the air mattress, sleeping bags and pillows need to go from the back.......................

to in between the front seat and the dash.  This includes Annika's car seat.  So I'm posting my list to make sure I didn't forget anything, or maybe even skinny it down!  Please comment below.  I appreciate you reading!
