How to Celebrate Easter when on Vacation (for Google junkies)

I'll admit it - I am a google junkie. I may need to see somebody....but I'll google my symptoms first. I google everything from how to play tennis to how to sew a Hogwarts robe. I also google situations like how much to tip the bellman and how to celebrate Easter when on vacation...yes - that was my google search. 

I didn't receive a lot of ideas so I'm pulling together what I came up with in hopes of helping the next google junkie who wants some ideas for celebrating Easter on vacation...because that google search happens so often <sarcasm>. 

Leave the big stuff and the edible goodies at home. We were fortunate in that I left before my husband and he caught up to us later in our travels. That allowed the hubby to stay behind and leave a full-house egg hunt and baskets for when we return back home but if he had traveled with us - we would have simply put the baskets filled with goodies out once the kids got in the car. 

Pack a little bit of fun too!  We packed plastic eggs (they nest nicely when you take them apart).

And we packed stickers for labeling the eggs.

And we packed some Lego kits for inside of the eggs!
On Easter eve - we put a few pieces from the Lego kit in each of the eggs and labeled the eggs with a sticker so that one type of sticker corresponded with one set of Legos!



Then the "bunny" explained it all in a letter!


And then we hid them and the next morning - success!  The kids had a blast finding and building (their instructions had a sticker on it too)!  And the parents had a good time enjoying their excitement and helping!  Happy Easter!  

Enjoy :-)
