Packing List: Beach Town Trip

I will be heading to the west coast of Michigan soon, which is filled beach towns and lighthouses.  I have been looking forward to going with my three best friends since the start of summer.  Since the weather reports keep changing on us, we need to be prepared for rain or sun.  That said I have made a  packing list and thought I would share it with you.

I realized that I forgot to put what shoes I'm taking, which will be rubber flip flops, sandals, and tennis shoes.

Packing lightly has always been tricky for me, but since we are driving I won't have to figure in baggage weight. And since it is a full four day trip, I would prefer to have a few extras, just in case. I was able to narrow down my initial list quite a bit (crazy, I know!)  I find that my tendency to try and be over prepared always leaves me with too much stuff (does anyone else have this problem).  Off this list, I was also able to slash off the fleece (the weather seems to be looking brighter now). Now, I think I have the essentials and am ready for some R&R!
