junk in my trunk

Little known fact:

I am always beach-ready.

No, not in the I-shave-my-legs-every-day kind of way. The opposite is quite true.

I keep beach supplies in my trunk, so that any time the beach calls, I can be there.

I have:

1 striped beach umbrella
1 beach towel
1 bathing suit
travel size sunscreen
flip flops
sundress coverup
white cotton tshirt coverup
frisbee
beach blanket
beach buckets/shovels/sandcastle molds

I used to keep it in there when I was in college and would get random "come to the beach!" calls, or would just drive down to the beach on a whim. God, I love that first whiff of salty air.

Now that I'm older and me and all my friends are less likely to go to the beach at 3am to light a bonfire and catch the sunrise, I use it less. But I still keep it there, just in case.

It came in handy today, when it was so nice and pretty out that my coworker invited me over to her apartment to hang out by the pool after work. Or, I invited myself. :o)

I'm curious- what do you keep in your trunk?

  1. Two different kinds of strollers, my pole dancing heels (no way am I bringing that into the house), an emergency roadside kit, and these giant books my sister got as a kid and for some reason they are in my trunk!

  2. Yay beach ready! That sounds like an awesome thing to have ready to go.
    When I had a car, my trunk functioned as a garage basically. All that outdoors stuff that didn't really have a home in the house lived there. Roller blades, golf clubs, assorted camping gear and my geology stuff. I miss having that extra storage space for odds and ends!
