Yep, gone are the days of just traveling with everything piled in our mini van! We have now entered the world of traveling with luggage and gear on top of the van now! We simply don't have the room on the inside of our van anymore for long trips and summer vacations.
I wish that I took a picture of all the things we took to the beach--the huge piles throughout our house. It was quite something! I honestly didn't think that everything was going to fit! Between baby gear, food, clothes, beach tents and umbrella, beach chairs, pool/beach toys, scooters, etc., we had to finally succumb to the fact that packing the van up by itself was simply not enough! So Scot went out and bought a cargo carrier for the top of the Odyssey.
I still didn't think that everything was going to fit, but Scot kept insisting that it all would! And it did! He was right!
So traveling as a large family, requires stepping out into the world of your vehicle roof top, and the skills of a gifted packer!
Cheers to the new way this large family travels!
