Beach Bag Essentials


I'm in a tizzy with my to-do's as I write this.

{it's 2 am... I leave at 8 am... haven't started packing...}

But hey- this time tomorrow,
I'll have been at the beach for 9 hours. 

Serenity now.

via
I'll be bringing a swimsuit, sunglasses, iPhone, sandals, a dress or two,
 and makeup... well, maybe, we'll see about that last one.

One thing that for sure is coming with me...
is my beach tunes playlist.

I made this lineup when my family used to go sailing in the BVI 
when I was a teenager....
so are most some of the songs dated & cheesy?

Yes.

But will the music always remind me of the beach?

Oh yeah.

 Aspiring Kennedy's
Songs of Sunshine

Sleepwalk- Santo & Johnny
Is This Love- Bob Marley
Kokomo- Beach Boys
Fools Rush In- UB40
Son of a Sailor- Jimmy Buffet
Sloop John B- Beach Boys
Crazy Game of Poker- O.A.R.
Could This Be Love- Bob Marley
Under the Boardwalk- The Drifters

If you're aren't as into kitschy, steel drum, beach music as I am...
you'll might enjoy
Corinne Bailey Rae's 
new cover of Bob Marley's classic, 
Is This Love.

  5. I, too, share your love of kitschy, steel drum, beach music. I wore out my Beach Boys tape listening to Kokomo growing up.

  7. Sounds great - have a wonderful trip. Although I love Thanksgiving, I've always thought a trip now is a great idea for reenergizing before the whirlwind of the holiday season!
