How to Pack for a Weekend Roadtrip to Tennessee

Lifestyle· Style

1 Jul

Hi friends!

Remember the anticipation you had as a child when you were getting ready to go on a trip?  We never went on typical vacations when I was a kid.  Our trips away from home always involved visiting with grandparents, but to me, that WAS one heck of a visit!  Who doesn’t like being spoiled by grandparents?

Since we didn’t go on destination vacations, I didn’t have any luggage, so my clothing carrying container consisted of a large brown paper sack from the local Kroger. It held everything an eight-year-old girl could need.

Thankfully, I have upgraded as an adult and now have proper luggage, but somehow the trips I take as an adult (with fancy bags) don’t have the sweet excitement that those Paper bag Trips had.

I guess when you are a kid, everything feels different.

I have a video showing what and how I pack for a weekend getaway for today’s post, and I hope you’ll find it helpful.

 I’ve been guilty in the past of over and under packing, but the way I remedied that was to take about an hour or so, a few days before the trip, and write down the planned activities while I am away. I then lay out the complete outfits from head to toe on my bed.  That way, I don’t forget things.

After watching the video, let me know whether your “must haves” are here or on youtube when you pack for a road trip.
I’d love to learn from you!

As always, thank you for stopping by.

Xoxo,

Lindy

      Hi Darlene!
      I appreciate you stopping by and watching the video! I have a LOT of Southern but try to temper it for the videos so that people outside of the Southeast can understand me. lol!
      Hope you have a happy 4th of July!

    Great video! You are so organized. I always overpack. Love your tip to keep your shoes in a plastic bag! I never do that!

    Overpacking is one of my superpowers, LOL!! But seriously, I spend an hour before packing actually trying on the outfits and that have saved me many times (then I don’t forget the right bra for the outfit or other specifics)

      lol! Love it, Jodie!
      You know I meant to, but forgot to mention taking the correct bras! I had to pack a strapless one for my coral dress. (An important piece of info that was left out.)
      Oh well, next time!

    As I sit in my closet doing this very thing, I must take a break and read my favs. Thank goodness for this post and video! If I fly, I’m know I’m limited but when we drive I tend to pack it all and the kitchen sink, lol. Have a beautiful 4th weekend my love!

    Andy uses shower caps to cover the soles of his shoes when packing.

      That is a GREAT idea, Neecie! I think I will use that next time.
