Hey guys! So I know I just talked about what we did on our 2 day trip- but here's what we packed! We bought a lot of stuff we didn't have for the trip- and some of the stuff we didn't use but we could still use it... it was like we didn't use everything we packed- but we didn't forget everything and we could have used it. We both kind of felt like we didn't overpack- but we also didn't underpack.
We bought a lot from discount stores. We both actually work at 2 different discount stores so we had a discount on top of the lower prices... so that was especially good. We got our bathing suits, sunscreen, his sunglasses, a floppy hat for me, some dressier clothes, reusable straws, and some socks from discount stores. We also went to the travel section of a drugstore called Harmon... which is basically half travel sized goods and half a regular drugstore and the travel section of Walmart. We probably didn't use all of this for the trip... but still it was good to have and the prices were so low. We didn't get a lot from Target... but we did get some beach towels.
We didn't really have a lot of the things we needed... which is why we went shopping. We didn't need to buy all new things... but it was kind of useful and easy to pack since everything was sealed and stuff.
My parents had a suitcase that was large... but it wasn't like the largest size for a suitcase. It was big enough for both of our stuff... plus we had room that it didn't get overstuffed. His mom actually gave us a big plastic bag so that we could put our dirty clothes in there so our clean clothes wouldn't get dirty. That made it easy for us when we got home so we could just put our dirty clothes in the laundry and our clean clothes could go back in our closets/dressers.
We packed some reusable tote bags and some backpacks also. He brought 2 backpacks and I brought one plus my handbag. It was pretty useful. It was nice to have beach stuff in the backpack and everything else packed away.
So... that was pretty much it! I know this probably isn't the best way to pack- but it worked for us and we were happy with what we packed. Aside from 1 hair product that didn't have a cap and leaked out in my toiletry bag... it wasn't too bad! I don't regret anything else!
Bye!
