Loves

What family trips (not vacation), is all about! Travel tip- I wait until I get to the location I’m traveling to to buy cute “local” dresses or things for the girls. Walmart, Kmart, and such have great local clothing and items for kids. Don’t try touristy shops but shop where the locals go. These dresses were from Walmart and less then $10. You know with four kids you’ll end up at Walmart so save some dough and wait until you get there!
