Everyone loves vacation time. You can finally relax, not worry about work, and just take each day as they come. But one thing that disrupts that vacation time is when you realize you forgot one of the most important things that you swore you wouldn't forget when you were loading up the car. So, check out this list to make sure you have everything to make your vacation as stress-free as possible!
1. Sunscreen!
I used to blow this off & didn't think I needed it... until I got second-degree burns at the beach and my vacation was quickly ruined. Just take the sunscreen & apply it at least once so you can protect your precious skin.
2. A good book!
Regardless if you're going to the beach or to the mountains, you can never go wrong with bringing a new book for some quiet time. It's also a good excuse to use when you just want to ignore your family and be in your own world for a while.
3. A rainjacket
This might sound random and unimportant but you'll thank me when you get caught in that rainstorm on the beach or that trek down the mountain because let's face it, no one likes to be soaking wet on vacation.
4. A Hat
This could mean a baseball cap or a sunhat - whichever works best for you! But regardless of the type of hat that you chose, it's always good to bring one along just in case there's a windy day on the beach or you woke up with extra greasy hair for some reason. Vacation is all about minimum effort and what easier way to style your hair than by putting a hat on while walking out the door?
5. Extra Battery Pack Charger
You might not think you need one of these because you'll go from the car to your vaca home but think again. Whether you're on the beach all day and your phone dies or you're halfway up a mountain and realize that you're almost out of battery juice. You can never be too prepared so just be sure to snag one at your local Target or Walmart before you hit the road!
