If you think the food list is nuts, you’d never believe the packing/to do list. All four pages of it. Perhaps I’ll scan it in all of it’s glory upon my return home. Until then, I may or may not write again. I am on vacation. Many adorable Fiendling at the beach photos are on flickr.

We’re heading out to our Cape house tomorrow and as of right now I’ve packed swim diapers and a hair dryer. I need serious lessons from you. I am in awe of the food list.

Everyone else’s food lists always look better than mine.

Can I come with you? It seems like there would be enough food.

Yeah. I don’t have that much food in my house right now.

We have the same series of lists for our beach trip, and my mom saves them from year to year in a file and we update every year, using our notes we made WHILE AT THE BEACH from the previous year. It’s a leeeeeetle anal retentive, but we rarely forget anything! What beach do you go to?
