My Baby’s First Vacation: Shopping Online For baby Clothes
Every summer I do a little traveling with my family. The family members who went were my mom, dad, and younger sister Margaret. In the past we had visited San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington DC. But late last year I had a momentous change in my life, with Corey being born and consuming most of my time. Yet I did not want to break from this fun and exciting family tradition, so I decided to bring him along. For this year’s summer vacation, my dad thought a trip to New York City would be fantastic. So he wrote up an itinerary, which included renting a car to visit family friends in White Planes, then bought us all plane tickets.
While dad took care of the plane tickets, I knew Corey would need new clothes and baby gear to make it through the trip. I wasn’t sure how to approach it exactly, being so busy with work and taking care of him. Then my friend Sheila said I could go online and find all the baby supplies for great prices. I immediately hopped on the internet and found that indeed it was very easy to locate exactly what I needed.
First I knew Corey would need a few pairs of shorts, so I took his measurements and then plugged them in. I had a wide selection of choices, but decided on a nice pair of blue shorts with little duckies on it. They were so cute! I thought it would also be great if he had a matching little baby tee, and just like that I was able to find a matching blue ducky tee shirt. I then started to ponder what else he might need, and so I started browsing. I stumbled upon an adorable pair of baby wraparound sunglasses, and knew Corey had to have them. They looked great and would protect his eyes. Then I remembered my mom mentioning that our friends in White Plains had a swimming pool, so I browsed swimwear. I was shocked at how low the prices were. I got him a suit and some floaties, and then realized I had enough to get him his own floating seat!
After I purchased all of Corey’s new clothes and gear online, I just sat back and relaxed knowing all I had to do was wait a few days and I would be all set. Indeed, a few days later all the stuff came with plenty of time to spare before the trip. I saved money, didn’t have to leave my home, and got precisely what Corey needed to have a great vacation. A week later we went on our first family vacation with my beautiful baby boy, and we always remember how amazing it was.
