    Minamalist overnight

    Rocky's parents are keeping the kids through the holiday weekend and giving us some time to ourselves. We are spending the night with them and leaving them in the am. I didn't need anything substantial. For my bags so I went with ultra light. I usually resist mixing cloths with car activities, but this time it was no biggie. I am carrying:

    3-d cube has toiletries

    Side Effect is packed as I usually carry it.

    Synapse has:
    In the main compartment
    my change of clothes in a slim eBags packing cube
    a pashmina for when Rocky needs the air colder than I like it
    iPad in the slip pocket
    Magazines in UV large clear pouch
    Knitting in UV medium stuff sack
    Large bag of gummy life savers (dinner)
    Solar small clear pouch with iPad and iPhone chargers and adapters for 110 and 12v and Lotion bar in front side pockets
    vibrams five fingers classic smartwool fit nicely into the lower compartment

    Checking into the hotel, carrying my mostly sleeping daughter and holding hands with my 6 year old was so easy with this setup.

    @TXGirl. You must know by now that there is usually more than one Side Effect.

    I love how everything matches, and I extra love that it's all purple. :-)

    Dorayme - excellent idea for more than one Side Effect. Note to self - add to next order list.

    (Hope this isn't a double post - the one I just typed seemed to go missing!)

    Very late to the party but add me to the purple-lovers group! I love my purple Side Effect and LCB and Field Notebook. I would love a purple Synapse, but since they're gone I think I'll have to go with Olive or Conifer instead!

    Love that you can pack dinner with a weekends' worth of clothes/reading/knitting AND an extra pair of shoes.

    Maybe they'll do a new Synapse offering in Plum/Wasabi later this year. (You can suggest it to Darcy!)

    If they did plum/wasabi I'd snatch one up! Heck, if they do it in Plum/Wasabi AND Navy/Wasabi I'd seriously consider one of each! I'll mention it when I send in my next order (don't know when I will, but it seems a sure bet that I will, lol)
