14,000 miles, 200 friends, two lives, one big decision

Packing Strategies

Ok, this might sound a little bit obsessive compulsive, but… I went to Target and purchased various sizes of green and purple plastic storage bins to organize our stuff for the Wedding Road Trip. I mean, serious, nothing says amateur like bringing a five-hundred pound suitcase into every house we visit while on the road. Plus, Roxy has a huge trunk, which means we can fit plenty of stuff (nice!).

At first, Chris was not convinced of my Green Box, Purple Box strategy. Separating his sundries from his clothes sounded way too complicated and pointless. I quickly won him over, however, when I pointed out how nice it would be to have our own space in Roxy’s trunk, versus everything being thrown into one big mess. I guess we’re not quite ready to cohabitate yet, because plastic box independence sounds like heaven to both of us.

    As the mother of three and “Director of Packing” for 5 on frequent Road Trips I applaud you! There is never enough space for all the crap we think we need, especially if you are constantly packing and re-packing. Its hilarious but smart.

    Are you sure your biological clock isn’t ticking, cuz this screams mommy! Just don’t start Puffy-painting them or putting cute stickers on them, ok? That’s when I will get concerned. =)

  3. I’m glad you turned off the camera before he started to cry.
