You don't have to plan an elaborate vacation to get a little bit of rest and relaxation with the kids. Try taking a trip somewhere nearby, or make a camping or cabin trip to a state or other area that is close to you.
When traveling, it's always a good idea to have a first aid kit around. Here are some items you'll want to have on hand:
Safety pins
Bactine, soap or other cleaning agent
Latex gloves
Gauze pads
Triangular bandages
Scissors
Medical adhesive tape
Rubbing alcohol
Tweezers
Needle
Antiseptic wipes
Thermometer
Vaseline
Band-aids in various sizes
Ace Bandage
Bite/Sting kit
Anti-itch cream
Tylenol, Ibuprofen or other pain-relieving/fever-reducing medicine
Benadryl
Instant cold pack
