When we travel we often move around a lot so I understand the luggage issue but...that said CGB is wonderful. You could simplify your luggage issue by packing everything you would need for that one night in CGB in one bag...it's only one night so just the basics...bathing suite pjs..toothbrushes etc for everyone. Bring that into the room with you and leave the other bags packed in opened .locked in the car even.
