School is OUT and SUMMER IS IN! So what do we do for the summer? We head to the beach as often as we can. We live fairly close to the beach, so I like to be able to go when time permits. Yes, sometimes we plan ahead, but a lot of the time we stop because it sounds super fun to go and we are close by. My little guy is out of school and there is simply no reason not to head to sand and the ocean. Not only does he love playing in the sand, making san castles and running through the water…I love breathing in the fresh ocean air and resetting my mind. Its a WIN-WIN-WIN for everyone!
Since we randomly stop for the Beach, here are my 5 Beach Must Haves that I always keep in the car in a backpack:
- Waterproof Washable Beach/Park Blanket
- Surfer Dudes (hours of fun…you throw them out to the water and they surf back in)
- Large plastic shovel and Pail
- Sun Shade: Pop Up tent, Pop up Shade, Portable Umbrella
- Sunscreen
*I always try to remember to stick some water friendly shoes in my trunk as well (Havianas for me and Natives for the little one) but sometimes post event I am grateful to have some flip flops to give my heel-hurting feet a break
At the end of the day, whether you are super prepared or not…you are going to have a blast!
