Travelling with four kids, no husband and unreliable air conditioning is a little intimidating. Yes, I had a few mini panic attacks before we left. But ultimately, I believe getting away should be fun and exciting--an adventure.
In preparation for our adventure, here's what we did:
Made and decorated fans because let's face it, even though the air conditioning is working a little, it's going to get hot in our van. So now they each have a hand-held fan and I'm sure they won't complain at all. Right?
Packed the essentials-from UNO to my first ever trust first aid kit. Click here to read how I am finally taking my own advice on being prepared.
The awesome travel bingo cards were a free printable from @Random Thoughts of a Supermom. Click here for more info.
Possibly the most important thing we will bring, the music.
Recently my kids fell in love with The Sound of Music and therefore I fell in love all over again. We are now in possession, courtesy of our fabulous library, of the soundtrack and we are LOVING it. The whole family Do-Re-Mi's throughout town. And now we are Do-Re-Mi-ing our way through the southeastern United States.
I am using Maria von Trapp as a guide post throughout this whole grand adventure. I mean look what she did with just a little confidence, she entertained those kids and everyone seemed so happy. If Maria can do it, so can I by golly.
I think Maria would be a B-52s fan. She might take it hip to hip and rock it through the wilderness. Maybe not, that sounds too dirty for Maria. But I do think she would approve of singing and roaming.
