note to self

things to pack for the beach:

• Pickles. Claussen dill sandwich slices. Lots of them.
• Harry Potter books 6 and 7 (since the latest movie inspired me to re-read)
• Plenty of hair twisties (because gosh if I'm going to be doing my hair while I'm on vacation in the summer heat)
• Camera (for taking a very large amount of pictures of Jules for then and now comparisons)
• Portable DVD player and princess movies (because I'm going to have to ride down with other family members and the last time we did that my daughter cried non-stop the entire way)
• Easy-Up Canopy (because I do not want to haul beach umbrellas out to the beach every day by myself while being responsible for a 3 year old as well)
• Water Balloons (because I keep telling everyone that my daughter is obsessed with them now but really it's just me)
• Deck of playing cards
• Bathing suit
