Pretty much every year, I meet my sister and her family at Saint Simons Island. It’s a great time, I don’t see them as much as I would like. But why oh why does my beach vacation never look like this?! Seriously, if you took a snapshot of our beach setup, you would see the following: crappy folding beach chairs from Home Depot that fold up like a knapsack (actually super convenient). Mismatched beach towels. A cooler with about an inch of sand in the bottom and melted ice. Beach toys in various states of disrepair. A deflated raft that no one wants to blow up. A pair of those 1990s-style water shoes (MINE!) because I am terrified of stepping on a stingray. It’s not that glam of a scene, but life isn’t always like Pinterest now, is it? I will be having fun, and wish me luck on the stingray (I am sure this is an irrational fear ;).
