13 Struggles Of Packing For A Family Vacation, As Told By 'Bob's Burgers' Characters

In This Article:

Everyone loves a good family vacation, but everyone also knows that packing for a trip is the hardest part of it. You don't know what the weather forecast will be. What if it's cold and you don't have enough warm clothes. Or vice versa? And then there's the stress of forgetting something important, like medication or underwear.
