We just clocked in our first family beach trip this past week. Well, first family beach trip where Crew was mobile. We are officially those people on the beach. I knew the day would come at some point, but it hits different when the time actually arrives. We schlepped stuff across copious amounts of sand. Not a little bit of stuff. A lot of stuff. It was a daily endeavor that required emotional stamina and physical endurance. We accepted our new reality, rolled with the daily set-up AND break-down jaunts and had some fun in between those two daily occurrences. I’m here to tell you that I think we nailed some essentials that made our lives easier at the beach with a 13 month old and I’m sharing them with you because it feels like an obligation to do so. The whole law of attraction thing. Disclaimer: One quintessential ingredient to this round-up, not included here, is a Grandma or any loving family member you can find to accompany you on said beach trip. Turns out, you cannot sell a Grandma on Amazon and for good cause…but, do not proceed to beach without this integral part of the equation. God speed!
Plush Splurge Beach Towels (will last a lifetime)
Beach Buggy (yep, that’s where we’re at)
Insulated Tumbler (because you’ll definitely need a cocktail)
