Aloha! Or as the Massachusetts folk say, hi! Currently, I am on vacation with my family at the beach in Massachusetts, and I wanted to write something! I had planned on doing a what’s in my wallet piece, but it’s a bit windy on the beach, so I figured that wasn’t the best idea. But… going through my beach bag and what I have at the beach probably wouldn’t end disastrously!
So, to start off with what’s in my beach bag, my beach bag itself is one of those giant tote bags that you get when you spend a certain amount of money at Victoria’s Secret. Inside one of those I have:
1.) A towel
2.) Sunscreen
3.) My phone
4.) My wallet
5.) A mask
6.) A water bottle
7.) A tee-shirt (as a cover-up)
8 .) Two pairs of sunglasses in a case (I was trying not to wear them so I wouldn’t get more of a sunglasses tan line!)
The above items are pretty understandable, and since I am with my family and we have food in a separate bag, the only other things in my beach bag are entertainment related. I have:
9.) My Nook (first edition, has a bunch of middle school aged books on it)
10.) The first two Harry Potter books (I have the 3rd on my phone from the library)
11.) A journal (and a pen, obviously)
12.) Wireless earbuds
13.) A laptop
Personally, I’m a bit nervous about having a laptop at the beach, but it isn’t that hot out, so I don’t think I’ll accidentally fry it. Hopefully! Edit from home – the laptop is fine!
Other than that and food, the only other items I have that are not in my beach bag are my smartwatch – a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, – a beach chair, and a sort of beach bedroll with a pillow attachment.
To discuss food, my family has a fabric cooler that we keep lunch and snacks in, so in there I have a bottle of water, a bottle of vitamin water, raspberries, a baggie of white cheddar popcorners, a baggie of wheat thins (original flavor), a container of baby spinach leaves (uncooked), and a lemon slice (to put on the spinach leaves). My mom also put a granola bar in there for me, but I told her beforehand that I wasn’t going to eat it, yet she insisted on keeping it in there! Oh well, joke’s on me because I had to carry it to the beach! But my sister had to carry it back so really, the granola bar should be taken out, as it is making life difficult for everyone except my mom. The irony.
Anyway, that’s what I brought to the beach, including flip flops and a bathing suit of course!
On that note, happy 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote, and Ciao! Or a the Massachusetts folk say, bye!
