Worth a thousand words


A picture they say is worth a thousand words. The picture here has just a few of the things you may think to bring to the beach but there are things not in the picture that probably pop to mind when you see such a photo.
There is ofcourse the prep it takes to get the the beach. Lucky for me I have a life long cottage beach goer as a wife. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm pretty organized myself but it's alot easier when someone has the experience to know what will and what won't work. Ziplocs for example are great beach items as they can hold everything. Mesh bags for sand toys, small containers for grapes and blueberry (so refreshing at the beach and much easier than watermelon)
Here it comes.. the comparison to when we I was a kid.
  1. Bathing suit
  2. Towel
  3. Giant Watermelon (seeded) that was cut on the spot
This was followed by a long ride home in an non-air-conditioned car. No DVD, No snacks lots of wind in the back seats.
Wait, we did have drinks. Giant blue cooler with a spout at the bottom filled with Cool-Aid!!
