Summer Weekend Getaway Essentials

Summer Weekend Getaway

A summer weekend getaway is just what the doctor ordered after a stressful week at the office or home with kids. The two most important things or goals when preparing to go and getting ready are: 1) keep it simple, pack as little as possible but  2) bring everything you need.

Before you pack lay your clothes out and if you don’t think you will wear something eliminate it before you put in your suitcase.  Weather can vary anywhere so be sure to have a sweater or light jacket and long pants in case it gets cold.

Since the weather is warm in the summer you don’t need to bring a lot of clothing. List what activities you will be doing and then pull your outfits together. For example: swimming, and /or golf, hiking, and / or tennis. Plan for two dinners out.

Sample packing list for weekend getaways:

Swimming – 1 swimsuit, 1 cover up, sandals or flip-flops
Golf – Shorts or pants- top – golf shoes & socks
Tennis – shorts, top & tennis shoes
Hiking – shorts or pants – walking shoes or hiking boots
Dinners (two evenings) 1 pair of pants 2 different tops 2) different necklaces or 1 necklace & 1 scarf 1 sweater or wrap and 1 pair of sandals with heels
Nightie and underwear. (Your flip-flops or sandals will work for slippers and beach cover up can double as a robe.)

Have a great time!
