Lists: A beach weekend
I am brimming with travel anticipation! Our friends have a lovely boat and cabin on a remote island in the Puget Sound (Hat Island) and we will be spending a few days there this weekend. I would have been happy with gray skies, but Seattle has seen fit to give us 70degrees and sunny! I am so excited that I am writing this post BEFORE I eat breakfast, which almost never happens.
Before I toss myself into the shower to run up to the store for some last minute items, I wanted to ask some questions about a beach weekend. As I was trying to get myself to sleep last night, I was thinking about things I simply cannot leave behind when I leave for a beachy weekend - especially a weekend that I KNOW I will be encountering amounts of bliss, ocean*, and mimosas.

Here's my list:
BIG old 30s beach hat that my sister bought me for my 30th bday last year. I keeps the sun off like nothing else!- Journal.
- Camera.
- Plath's Journals. They ALWAYS get me writing (which explains why I cannot get through it. I read for 10 minutes and my hand is burning to write).
- Dresses, Sarong, and Flippy Flops.
- Music.

*i have this thing about the ocean. i know a lot of people do, so i probably don't have to explain it. The ocean is like a huge calming blanket that shushes my anxiety and brings rich pensive thoughts. I am changed when the water and I look at each other. if i ever moved anywhere to write, it would be a beach-town. just like sylvia and ted.

That's the only absolutely necessary thing there is. I mean, I do a grand job over packing every where I go, but the items I bring are fluid. If, somehow, I were to leave my sketchbook behind, the trauma might be enough to ruin the whole weekend.
I guess I need water and my toothbrush too.
