[quote=Anonymous]It gets easier after the first couple of years. I keep a list of essentials and stash most of the basics in the closet to grab and go. Definitely worth it to avoid trips to the store. Meal plan and prep in advance. Go to the store once very early the first morning for produce and perishables. Bring first aid and other bathroom/shower stuff as this is pricey and annoying to have to go out and buy on vacation. No need to pack a lot of clothes if you have a washer and dryer in the house. One beach towel and one shower towel per person. Sheets for all the beds if you have extra sheets - if not try to rent linens. For young kids don’t bring a bunch of toys and games from home. Stop at a dollar store or a cvs or someplace like that close to the beach and let them buy some art supplies, beach toys and cheap fun stuff just for the week. My kids used to like making those stepping stones with shells and other beach souvenirs. My kids are teens and young adults now so the equipment situation is easier. We still bring sound machines though! Haha. [/quote]
