Packing is one of the least enjoyable parts of traveling, especially when you’re hitting the road with your whole family. This chore brings a lot of anxiety along because we all tend to forget a thing or two when packing – starting with these overlooked clothing items.
Long-Sleeved Clothing
We all tend to push long-sleeved clothing to the back of our closet once summer arrives, but it’s still a good idea to pack a few long-sleeved shirts or a lightweight jacket to prepare yourself for sudden weather changes.
Sneakers
Your kids will spend most of your summer vacations in slippers, sandals, or barefoot, but you shouldn’t forget to pack a pair of closed-toe shoes such as sneakers for your active adventures.
Extra Socks and Underwear
Kids tend to go through socks and underwear pretty quickly, especially during active summer outings, so it’s a good idea to have a few extra pairs at hand.
Umbrella or Raincoat
Summer rains can be pretty uncreditable and you never know when they’re going to hit you, so make sure to pack an umbrella or a raincoat for your kid, just in case.
Hats & Caps
Even if your kids are wearing sunscreen all the time, they’ll have trouble protecting their heads from direct sunlight so it’s crucial to bring hats and caps along.
