#144 - Don't Like Pandemic Packing

​Cleaning and Health Supplies

I'm not used to this kind of packing.

I've never packed a thermometer or face masks, for a road trip. Actually, I'm not even sure why I packed that thermometer. Oh well, it's small.

Games!

This was the fun part of packing. We'll be staying with our kids and their spouses for about 2 weeks.

During all these past quarantine months, I've thought about how different it would have been to have been "trapped" in a home with our family, not just my spouse. Yay! I'm excited to "play quarantine" with our whole family, even if it won't be in our own home. I love playing games with Don, but it will be more fun with all of us! 

We don't really have to stay inside, so we have some outside stuff, too! Yay for Kadima!

6 Kids

This pandemic summer has felt like summers of my childhood. As a kid, spent a lot of long, warm days, hanging out at home and in the yard.

I know we 6 will spend most of our time catching up and enjoying adult conversations. There's so much to talk about. But we 6 might need some kid activities, too. 

Movies

I'm sure we'll avoid news on TV, so we might want some movies.

I packed some old favorites. If the weather is bad, we'll have about 20 movie options.

Pandemic Goodie Bags

Besides packing up tons of food and drink, I made sure to gather some non-essential stuff.

Everybody gets thermal mugs and foot and face spa stuff... a kite making kit ... and some masks and sprays. Actually those are essential.

What didn't I pack? No need for jewelry and dress clothes. Oh well.
