An inconvenient truth

I've recently been mulling over our upcoming travel plans at the end of the month to Canada and realized that we are now a not-so-convenient house guest anymore. We are now a family of 7, in case you couldn't count and we can't just drop in anymore, we actually have to plan ahead and have to seek out adequate lodging. It's also quite different planning when there are twins involved that are eating food now and need to sit up to do so. They are portable yes but they also come with their own "set" of baggage. Our van that was once roomy is losing it's spacious feel quickly. Luckily I was able to find a steal of a deal on a rooftop cargo box and ordered it today so that should help the packing issue. I may not be reduced to packing only one pair of jeans like previous years.

I need to start making lists of necessary items to pack. Once that cargo box gets here I'll have a better idea of what fits too. Should be interesting.
