Hello all!
As you probably know, we were recently chosen as Butlins Ambassadors (eeek!) & within a few days I was already making to-pack lists, I'm one of those people who likes to be super (probably over) organised and who likes to plan in advance, i'm not very good with when things change last minute or having to rush around so I make sure i'm always prepared!
This will be our very first family holiday so i'm trying to make sure everything runs as smoothly as it can, I remember growing up my Mum, Dad & I would go to Spain every year, my Mum would pack everyones suitcases pretty much as well as toiletries and fun things to do on the journey etc, I didn't really know how hard it could really be until now, you literally have to think of everything, especially when you have a toddler, you need to think about what you'll be doing, what the weather will be doing, how to keep them entertained in the car etc etc..so below I have given you my list of what we're packing for Abbie, i'm sure i'll keep adding things but if you have any ideas on things i've missed out, feel free to leave a comment to let me know! :). We are going for 3 nights!
For the journey
It's only a 2 hour journey for us so we're gonna try and get it all done in one go, which means no stopping! Abbie has never been in a car longer than about an hour so it might be a bit difficult but we thought hard about what kinda things we would take to keep her entertained! Instead of having lunch at home, we'll be leaving for our trip so will be taking the food with us!
