What to Do Before You Get in the Car

Getting the family ready is crazy. Jessica and I have a little one. We know, going to Costco requires a total of 4 hours. And that is just getting into the car.

This blog is here to give you a checklist on what to get ready before getting into the car! So here we go!

• A downloaded Spotify playlist or Podcast (heading into Big Sur or Carmel Highlands means no wifi)

• Outfit (plan the week before)

• Shoes

• A tote bag

  • Water

    • Tiny water bottles are best, be willing to share

  • Bottles

  • Easy snacks. Usually sugary stuff the kids or dads normally don’t get is fun for them and if we want them to do a backflip over the Redwood in Big Sur they just might do it!

  • Sunscreen in case you want to stay and have dinner at Monastery Beach

• Naps (a rested baby is more important than the time, if you’re running late just text me no worries!)

• A light jacket you can throw on the ground (it gets cold here in Monterey)

I hope this quick checklist was helpful in getting you ready for your family session!
