Tomorrow morning Matthew and I are heading out on a road trip. We are taking a week off (and by off I mean we’ll likely still end up working a bit, but at least with a change of scenery) to go to Florida to visit family and friends. I can hardly wait. This vacation is coming at the perfect time possible considering how busy the past couple weeks have been. We decided to turn it into a road trip rather than just fly there because how often will we really be able to take off this much time at once to drive to our vacation spot? Not often! Of course I haven’t packed at all even though I told myself I would start at the beginning of the week. However, I have thought of some essentials that will be making their way into our car. Road Trip 2013, let’s do this.
Camera: Pictures are a must on vacations, especially road trips.
Sunglasses: For obvious reasons.
Nature Valley Bars: My favorite snack is popcorn (followed by Nature Valley Bars), but seeing as we won’t have a microwave in the car, these will do.
Journal: You never know when you’ll get inspired.
Sandals: Perfect for the beach and pool.
Beach Bag: You can never go on a tropical vacation without a large beach tote for all your everyday essentials.
Scarf: For beach hair days.
Book: I still haven’t had a chance to finish this book, even though I’ve had it since it first came out. Goal: To finish it over the course of the week.
Nikon D90/Ray-Ban Aviators/Nature Valley Bars/Keel’s Simple Diary/Sam Edelman ‘Gigi’ Sandals/Vince Camuto Tote/Topshop Geo Aztec Scarf/Emily Giffin ‘Where We Belong’
Perfect kit for your road kit! Enjoy!
So jealous- I haven’t been on vacation since March of 2011! Your packing list looks a lot like mine- make sure to take lots of photos so we can all see!
Eek-so fun! I’ve only been on one road trip and that was from CT to Myrtle Beach with my boyfriend at the time. It was SO much fun, but the driving got us a little loopy–I’m pretty sure at one point at 2am we were mistaking mailboxes for deer. So yeah, DON’T do that!
A roadtrip sounds so fun, have an amazing time! Loving that scarf, definitely good for beach hair!
