The Johnson Crew!

Hi friends we are getting ready to head out on our summer family vacation I'm so excited we are spending four days at Indian Shores Florida we've rented a VRBO for the week or for the four days and it's like a block off the beach so walking distance it's gonna be so nice and then we're gonna spend our last day at a water park in Orlando it's kind of on our way back home so the kids are pumped so I need to get us all packed up ready to go

And as you know going to the beach requires not necessarily a lot of clothes but a lot of stuff so come pack with me check out what we're packing hopefully it'll help remind you of anything that maybe you need to bring on your next vacation okay here's what I am packing all right so let's walk through this so I've got a black tank top that I will just be wearing with my everyday jean shorts which I'm currently wearing I've got a burgundy tank top this is a racer back tank top that I'll wear with these um athletic orange shorts

And then I've got a white T-shirt and I love these shorts they're pretty thin and loose very comfy but super cute so I've got an extra outfit in here and then I'm also bringing some dressier clothes in case I want to dress up for going out to eat at night time since I've got this black tank top bodysuit um it's really soft and stretchy that will go with this cheetah print skirt here I'll open this up it's so pretty this is from Sheehan okay it's got a slit in it

And it's like a Dusty Rose and then I've also got this white linen dress that's short sleeve which I figured would be really pretty if we want to take some photos on the beach it's very flowy and then I've got two sets of jammies here short sleeve shirts a pair of Jammy shorts and light sweatpants that I like to lounge around in and some socks I like to wear those in the house usually my feet are frequently cold and then I also like to have socks in the car I love to have socks on my feet in the car I don't know they always just get cold when I'm sitting down

And I like to have a sweatshirt just in case you know sometimes I'm colder in the car than my husband or sometimes I like to have it on in the morning when the house hasn't warmed up yet from you know sleeping in a chilly house so it's just nice to have this on hand even though it's summertime and then of course bathing suits all right so there's one bottom I really like to wear shorts with my bathing suits here's my tankini top okay and another pair of black shorts

And a black tankini top and then this one piece and a swimsuit cover up I love this one I think it's from Target so our favorite thing to use for packing is these packing cubes they're awesome we have several different sizes let's see here's a smaller size okay and then we like to put them all this is not glamorous at all but into an Ikea bag they just fit so well it's not a great look and this is not doable for flying but when we're just driving somewhere I love to use these because it's never like all the way full right if you forgot something you could always like shove it in the side or something in it

And it just fits so this is a very easy way for us to grab everything we need for all of us all right let's pack it all up for my seven-year-old daughter we've got two pairs of jammies shirt and shorts and then she also is bringing an extra outfit and things to wear in case we go to a restaurant for dinner that's a little nicer we'll see so she's got this cute little Cactus shirt and shorts to match little athletic shorts and then this one also has sequins on it

And a little tie this is cute um this shirt with these little linen shorts that's gonna be cute and then this cute little tank top with the sailboats um with these little shorts and then this is her little Resort where she's had these since she was six but she's still making it work and it's such a cute little outfit I think it was from Walmart I love this little outfit and then a romper this will be like a nicer thing that she could wear for dinner or even pictures on the beach if we want to do that

And another little dress that you can wear and be a little more dressy if we need to be I mean she loves wearing these two things anyways um so she'll be comfortable wearing them whenever and then she's bringing these two bathing suits I love these These are from Amazon and I just like how they are modest but still super cute she helped me pick them out loves the mermaid theme all right let's pack her up foreign this is for my three-year-old son so I've got more extra clothes for him than the others because you know he's three um

But he's got this gray plain T-shirt with these cute striped shorts very summery oh he loves some baby Yoda so he's got his Little Star Wars shirt along with some dino soft comfy shorts okay and then just a plain light blue t-shirt with some gray shorts okay and then this would be for like going out to eat or taking some pictures I've got this little collared cotton soft shirt for him with these like sea green shorts very cute and then this button up that he can wear with these striped blue shorts that would also be dressy um

And then just some extra shirts two extra shirts an extra pair of shorts as well just in case um not all my kids care to have jammies my daughter does and my three-year-old just occasionally likes to wear Jammy pants so what we do is just wear like whatever clean shirt you're gonna wear the next day you can wear that to bed along with some Jammy pants so bringing two of those for him and then his bathing suits so he's got we only have one bathing suit shirt

And then two Trunks and then he is still wearing diapers at night time to bed all right so let's get him all packed up this is what I'm packing for my five-year-old son so of course bathing suits and he does not care about jammies so we don't have to worry about that he would just wear what he's gonna wear the next day to bed that's fine so got this t-shirt that he can wear and I feel like this is nice enough to wear to dinner with some khaki shorts

And then an athletic shirt with gray shorts and he loves this basketball shirt like an athletic material with squash shorts typical boy clothes you know oh gotta have the Minecraft right all right whose kids are obsessed with Minecraft and then with some khaki shorts and then an extra t-shirt in there too so he has a whole extra outfit plus an extra t-shirt you know just in case really we're going to be spending most of our day in a bathing suit so it probably doesn't matter

But I'd rather have the not need the need and not have right okay let's get him packed up all right here's what my 10 year old is packing he's got two bathing suits okay and then he has four outfits so just one extra so he's got this all day all night gaming shirt I think this is from Old Navy with these aqua blue athletic shorts these are pretty cute and then another athletic shirt Adidas with some athletic shorts this kid basically only lives in athletic wear it's like a struggle to convince them to wear anything else

But we just picked up this shirt from Kohl's it's just plain blue shirt super soft um and these are like one of the only real I call them real real pants that he will wear and I think these are from Old Navy uh so if we go out to eat likely have him wear this outfit instead of the athletic wear and then he picked this out even though this is a long sleeve shirt for our ride home along with his fleece Minecraft Jammy pants they're his most comfortable

And prized possession let's get him packed foreign here's everybody's clothes well except for my husband's he likes to pack up last minute so but he also uses packing cubes so we'll just throw them all in an Ikea bag it fits so well so spags are now in this Ikea bag and I could probably shove more stuff in here if I need to which is really great I also got my three-year-old to pick out three books for the week here's our second Ikea bag which these pillows can go on the top of inside I've got my husband's packing cube is down here his toiletry bag vitamins my flat iron

And hair dryer these are the kids toiletries so I've got shampoo for them shower gel they're toothbrushes and toothpaste and some vitamins and the baggie and then I always bring in my toiletry bag some medicine for them and a thermometer just in case something happens I like to be prepared this is my makeup bag my toiletry bag which just has all the normal stuff in it all right this bag is packed and ready to go in the van okay here's everything we are packing for the beach which seems a bit excessive

Now that I'm looking at it but here we go we have four kids so what can you do so we have boogie boards for each kid plus a skimboard all right and then we've got new floats that we can blow up when we get there and then deflate before we come home bug spray we've got Beach shovels and pails and this is the anchor for our umbrella and then we've got like a Frisbee and goggles in here this is what we normally take to the pool

And our normal pool bag so in here is sunscreen and towels for everyone and then I took out one bathing suit per person and stuck it in here so that we can quickly change if we are just ready to go for it as soon as we get there it's easy and ready to go we're just going to bring three camping chairs even though there's six of us I've got a like waterproof blanket in here like picnic blanket that the rest of the kids can sit on

And then we've got this beach cart which is one of my favorite things so we can load up everything in there and pull it to the beach and this collapses and will fit in the van just fine I've packed a snack bag for all of us to dig through while we're driving down there we're leaving in the morning so we'll just have to stop for lunch and then we should be there around 3 30 or so is what I'm thinking and then what I like to do is make a grocery order while we're driving for a Walmart that's really close to our location

And what we'll do is we'll just dump our stuff off at the house one of us will go pick up the grocery order which should be really quick much faster than actually having to go through the storage shop and then it's already thought out and done and just doing it while I'm driving seems like a good use of my time I don't want to have to go grocery shopping when we're already on vacation I want that to be done but we were bringing so much stuff that we really did not have room for a big cooler

And all kinds of food so this was kind of the best way to take care of that so we'll get food to be able to eat breakfast and lunch at the condo or at the beach and plenty of snacks and drinks and water bottles and all that and then we'll probably order take out and go out to eat for dinner time so that's about it thanks so much for joining me today give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment below and let me know where you went on vacation this summer or where you're planning to go on vacation
