For us, the diaper bag is
a portable base camp: a source of snacks, entertainment, and extra outfits for occasions that require them.
After spending a few weeks up high on the flanks of Mt. Everest, just taking a shower down at
base camp with real soap and shampoo felt like a day at a luxury spa (even though I was standing underneath a plastic tarp on a bunch of jagged rocks, and the water that was coming out of the
portable shower spout had been warmed up by a burning pile of yak dung just minutes before).
