 huh

weather says 60s/40s ... possible rain??? Wet week this week.

I'm flying in with my hubby and toddler. We have a condo so not camping.

60s is warm in sunny days but miserable and cold if raining... so... any ideas on what to pack?? and 40s is cold but not snowing (ok mountain weather gurus I know.... I know it can change any minute).

Trying to pack 1 big suitcase for the 3 of us has me stressed.

OK first this is fun so put the stress away.

Baby needs- warm Hat, earplugs, gloves, sunscreen,  never fear the condos have washers and dryers, most of them. So find out and if so, just pack one warm and one or two hot days and reuse if possible. Rain poncho, easy to slip on and off.
Playing in the rain is great fun at Fest, I hope it rains some. So travel light and just reuse if possible. Make sure you have warm clothes for Evening. I hope that helps. See you soon! Medal

That tight under gear, shirts and leggings, that you wear right against your body will keep you really warm and won't take up much room in your suitcase or your backpack.

I freaked out too, and it was just me I was packing for on this trip. You're normal.

As was mentioned, your under layers are the secret..... And socks.  Wink

(the shoes, raincoat, blanket & pillow I forgot are already in the mail. Think thrift store if you find you've left something behind.)

We all should be ready for wet weather this year, just in case.  Thumbs Up

Bring everything you own, and you won't need it. Make sure that you pack lots of rain gear, that will insure a dry fest! LOL Pirate
