Beach stuff

Chase has a tennis match this morning… my parents are off running errands… so I’m home alone for once šŸ™‚

We went shopping last night – Chase had gift cards leftover from his birthday, so he bought some new clothes for the honeymoon. I bought some essential stuff for the beach… sunscreen, travel sized toothpaste and shampoo, new sunglasses since mine are MIA.

I haven’t been to the beach in literally years – my aunt and uncle took me to some beach in North Carolina 5 years ago, I think it was, but it was chilly and the beach was rocky, so we didn’t really spend much time out there. I haven’t been to a proper beach… gosh… since I was a kid, I guess.
Does anyone have any suggestions for stuff I need? I looked for a hat last night (I burn easily, which is why I bought a ton of sunscreen) but didn’t find any I liked. I was watching the Today show one morning, and they had a bit on “beach essentials” you should pack – but I missed it and they never put it on their website, so I’ve just been asking around, and looking at every site that mentions “beach essentials” LOL I’ve found some good stuff, stuff I would have forgotten otherwise, but if anyone has any suggestions or tips I’d be grateful.

Chase bought me these water shoes… they are really cute, I’m really pleased with them. I also found a skirt last night that was really cute on the rack… but then I got it home and not only was it a tad big (I could have dealt with that, but-) it looked horrible on me, it poofed out right at my hips and made me look gigantic LOL So I’m taking that back tomorrow.

Well yep… 2 weeks to go. I can’t believe it’s already here.
