I heard today that my older brother left for Arkansas to begin vacation. I began pondering what a new father would bring with his family to entertain their 4 month old daughter on an out-of-state vacation.
Our packing lists were usually made by Heather...down to the very last detail. Noticeably absent was anything of mine. In general it seems like we took a pack and play, a stroller, a swing...a few toys. We probably took their high-chairs, too. In fact, there was rarely room for any of my stuff.
Then I spoke to my sister and learned of my older brother's packing list. I think the pictures will suffice. Needless to say, he was a bit reluctant to leave any of his things behind and pictured below are three of them. Not pictured are 4-6 sweaters, a kayak, a life-preserver, a pair of roller skates, an old skateboard, his old military uniform, a children's "pirate pistol" (which was not for McKennah), an expresso machine, his poker chips and gambling outfit, and some scuba equipment.
Below are three items that were in the car prior to their departure. I'll let you guess which one Kim insisted that he leave behind so that they could get their 4 month old daugther into the car. (It seems the car was overpacked and left her no room.)
