How to pack for a weekend away?

We're driving to Lake Placid this weekend to watch my BIL in the ironman.

Its our first roadtrip with Ella (she's almost 4 weeks). We leave tomorrow morning and return on Monday.

I'm starting to think about what I need to pack for her, and it seems overwhelming...

a million diapers?
2-3 outfits/day?

Any tips?

light blankets in case it it gets cold,
lots of onsies in case of accidents..
I usually pack a million outfits just to be safe.. if she has a favorite toy ..

Also plan to stop every couple of hours... you may want to sit in the back with her when she is awake. and after she eats....

Also pack a hat and your own crib sheet if she is staying in another crib. Also if she has some favorite type of musical toy.. I usually carried Jillian crib toy..

I secong the bouncy this way she does not have to be held all day .
