Wandering Wednesday: Bag It

I'm not too sure about this theme. I came up with all these days of the week theme ideas (ie Mildly Embarrassing Monday, Teaching Tuesday, you'll see what else) while I was supposed to be paying attention during a meeting. I need guidelines so that every post I write doesn't turn into a misanthropic rant against the all the people who bug me. And I wanted something more original than Wordless Wednesday - er, no offense to Wordless Wednesday, I've done it countless times. But for me it's  like an ex that you keep returning to when you're lonely; there's no challenge or creativity or bravery involved. The ex may be a perfectly lovely person (or not), but he's not the One.

Tangent alert! Tangent alert!

Anyway, so I thought of "Wandering Wednesday", where I could post tips about road tripping with children, places worth visiting and stuff like that. Not that I'm an expert on traveling the way I am on teaching and embarrassing myself, but I'm not an idiot, either. Besides, I've actually seen things I've come up with on my own as pins on Pinterest. That's gotta count for something, right?

If you (like I often am) are too lazy to click the link, it shows an outfit packed into a Ziploc-type bag. I totally came up with the same idea on my own when we road tripped to Florida when Hugmonkey was a baby. I packed kids' outfits - diapers/undies, socks, tops, bottoms - into bags and labelled them with each kid's name. I even did a version for the adults. I had separate bags for bathing suits and water shoes, too. That way it's easy to pack them when they're still wet, if you have to. For that trip, I think I even did the kids' toys in plastic bags - one for crayons, one for Legos, one for Barbies. . .

Now, my kids all pack their own backpacks of stuff and we have special LEGO cases so that masterpieces don't get broken. 

Lego cases in action. 

But the bags are great for little kid toys. And I still do the outfit in a bag thing - in addition to keeping everything organized, it made it easier for the kids to help me pack.

Is this information helpful and/or interesting? Do you have a better theme idea for Wednesday? I like alliteration (obviously) but I'm open-minded. I don't have a lot of topics of expertise, so don't suggest anything too challenging.
