What's In Your Beach Bag?: Part II


My beach bag used to be filled with magazines like Vogue or In Style, and I loved to sit on the beach and read.  These days, reading on the beach is a distant memory.  Instead, I try to keep two eyes on three kids who all love the waves a little too much for me to feel comfortable, and my beach bag is loaded down with snacks and games and towels and sunscreen.

But, a girl can dream... and in my fantasy I'm wearing a cute bathing suit with a light weight coverup.  I'm reading Erik Larson's Dead Wake (I know it's not exactly a "beach-read," but I'm dying to read it) while Van Morrison sings Tupelo Honey in the background.  I have a change of clothes tucked away so that I can get out of that wet suit before I head up for margaritas in the late afternoon.  Doesn't that sound like fun?  As I said, a girl can dream!!

    1. Thanks! It's Seaside, Florida. We're in the panhandle up by Alabama, and that water is the reason we're known as the "Emerald Coast." Cheers, E
