As you know, my little family loves to adventure together! We love to explore places we’ve been, and new places too! We packed up to spend the day in downtown Salt Lake City. We feel lucky to live in such a beautiful state, and Salt Lake is home to so many amazing things! After getting a little attention from the 2002 Winter Olympics, many people visit Salt Lake for our beautiful mountains, gorgeous outdoor opportunities, and family friendly atmosphere! If you haven’t had a chance to visit Salt Lake City, you should put it on your list, it’s a great place!
Packing up for a day away with the family, I end up bringing along a few things that I wouldn’t normally carry around all the time, but I’ve learned over the years that it is better to come prepared!
Even though we are out of the diaper stage (Yay!!) There are still a few staples that I try to carry around that make our lives easier. So, I threw them all in my Baggallini Avenue Tote in kiwi, and we headed out for our day in Salt Lake City! The Avenue Tote was the perfect companion for our day in Salt Lake City, it was able to hold so many items to keep us all happy.
A Few of my Favorite Items to Tote Around in my Avenue Tote:
- A good book to read in the car- One Good Life, By my friend Jill Nystul
- Umbrella- The spring weather in Utah can be unpredictable
- Honest Wipes– we are out of diapers, but these come in handy for sticky fingers
- Honest Sunblock stick– for on the go sun protection
- Honest Hand Sanitizer Spray
- Honest Hand and Face Lotion– Utah air can be dry
- Kleenex for those runny noses
- Prescription Glasses– I can’t see far away. It’s a real problem. I want to get lasik someday.
- Metallic clutch
- Reusable bag
- Small pill box with headache medicine, children’s stomach relief medicine.
- Cough drops.
- Bovine anti-nausea medicine. Great for carsickness and roller coasters.
