3 RubberMaid 18 gallon containers – 50 lbs, 47 lbs, 42 lbs
2 Sterlite 18 gallon containers – 43 lbs, 37 lbs
1 Sterlite 15 gallon container – 47 lbs
1 handbag (Asher’s allowed check) – 14 lbs
1 Car seat bag (w/other stuff inside) – 35 lbs
2 dogs in kennels – 29 lbs, 10 lbs
1 Coleman cooler packed with stuff – 46 lbs
Carry-on items:
2 carry-on suitcases – 35 lbs, 26 lbs
1 bookbag – 18 lbs
1 baby stroller – 18 lbs
1 diaper bag – 8 lbs
1 purse – 135 lbs (just kidding!)
