Razor scooters, a coffee pot and fleeces

We are just under 24 hours to departure, and I'm packing our luggage.  Technically repacking.  We moved out of Shaker home June 18 and our household goods are not projected to be delivered to our home in Juneau until July 30.  So aside from the standard clothes and toiletries, what do you take with you in your luggage to set up home and life for those first few weeks?  Here's what's in our bags (I can only imagine what TSA is going to think when it screens some of these suitcases!)

For the kitchen:

  • 12" skillet & saucepan with lid
  • Coffee pot
  • Set of 6 dishes, bowls & cups
  • Set of silverware & a few wooden spoons for cooking
  • Measuring cup, can opener
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wine bottle opener

For the bedrooms:

  • 3 sets of sheets & some blankets
  • Flower wall decals from the girls' old bedrooms
For the girls:
  • 2 Razor scooters complete with helmets & knee pads
  • 2 sets of soccer shoes, shin guards & socks (Addy has soccer camp the 2nd week we're in Juneau, and we all know Cora will want to play around, too)
  • Girl Scout vest & day camp gear (Addy has Girl Scout day camp the 3rd week we're in Juneau)
  • Toys, a few board games and books
As for clothing, we had to pack both for a few weeks at the lake and a few weeks in Juneau, so, barring a freak heat wave that allows us to wear our bathing suits in Alaska, the new neighbors might come to know us as "those people who wear the same fleece everyday." 


And of course all Graham's bar exam study gear.
