Now summer is a wonderful time of the year, as if created for that. That you could rest and gain strength. If you have small children and you are tired of the city noise and not the freshest air of the metropolis, then a great option for a vacation for the whole family will be a trip to the countryside. You can go to the shore of the sea or estuary for the weekend.
In order for the vacation brought you only benefit, and not a lot of trouble, you need to prepare well. Let’s try together to make a list of necessary things. Naturally after the first trip you will know exactly what to take next time. Packing for your first trip with children is the hardest part: you don’t want to forget anything, but there is limited space in the car!
So, by points:
.
.
Tent. If you already have one, then everything is clear with this item. If you are thinking about buying a high-quality and comfortable accommodation in nature, then it is not unreasonable to read about choosing a camping tent.
Air mattress and bedding. The actual thing you plan to sleep on in the tent. Inflatable mattress Intex selected by the size of the tent perfectly copes with the role of a bed in nature. Both you and your child will be comfortable at night. Just do not forget the pump, otherwise the mattress will be difficult to inflate.
Sunshade — very desirable when vacationing with children. In the midday heat, children can play under them. Also under such a canopy you can put a table with food. Many tourist tents have protective antimosquito nets, which is very convenient in the evening — mosquitoes will not bite. If you do not have a tent, then forget about the fact that it was possible to hide from the sun during the day for you and the child.
Tourist furniture: tables and chairs. Without chairs in principle you can do without chairs and sit down on the bedding. So it’s more of a comfort element in this kind of vacation. So if they do not have them, it’s no big deal. But the table is very necessary: on it and cook and eat at it.
Dinnerware. In which you will cook and from which you will eat. Knife, spoons, forks, plates, cups — you need all of these.
Food. Think through what you plan to eat these couple days. Don’t take perishable foods, even if you have a cooler bag. Such foods are better to eat at home. The list can be, for example, the following: bread, cookies, cereals, vegetables, fruit, tea, sugar, salt, pickled kebab, chips, breadcrumbs. Perhaps you plan to fish, it will make a wonderful soup!
Water. You’ll need both drinking water. And for washing dishes, hands and other household needs. Water, as practice shows, the more the better.
Tourist gas stove will allow you to cook food in nature with home comfort. You can replace it with a gas burner or you can cook over a campfire. Also, don’t forget a brazier if you plan to grill kebabs or fish. Firewood, matches, coals, liquid for starting a fire should also be taken on vacation.
Clothing. What you will sleep in, a spare set of clothes, a windbreaker can be very useful in the evening, a panama from the sun.
Baby items. The list depends on the age of the child. I think every mom knows very well what you need to take for the baby. Try to make it all fit in the car! If the child is small, you will need toys, diapers, wet wipes, clothes, shoes, water for the child, inflatable pool.
Very important little things. These include sunscreen, mosquito repellent, toilet paper, wet wipes, flashlight.
Do not forget anything on the road and have a vacation with pleasure!
