It’s hard to believe it’s Labor Day weekend! Heading out-of-town for one last summer hurrah? Labor Day weekend is a time for travel, fun in the sun, and the always needed relaxation! It also calls for knowing what essentials to bring along so you can be ready for any fun you might come upon. Whether you’re heading to the beach, going camping, or doing a stay-cation and just hanging out in the backyard, you will have everything you need to make this Labor Day one to remember.
A Big Floppy Hat
The Sun is wonderful for giving us Vitamin D which is important for fighting disease, reducing depression, and boosting weight loss. But, the Sun can also wreak havoc on your skin and give you fine lines and other nasty issues and that is just a gift you don’t want. So wear that adorable floppy hat and protect your skin.
A Good Book
It’s good for all of us to spend a little quiet time over the long weekend. Reading can make you feel relaxed and energized. It’s also a great time to stay off of all things digital and lose yourself in the written words.

An Oversized Blanket
If you’re headed out on a road trip make sure you take and oversized blanket with you. No matter where you end up you can always carve some time out for a picnic. Whether you’re heading to the beach or the mountains, get one with nature and eat outside.
An Instant Camera
Most of the time we take picture and then share them on Social media and they are forever stored in our phones never to be looked at again. I miss the days where we actually got to physically hold a picture in our hand. I love watching the instant pictures come to life right before our eyes and I’m sure whoever your spending the weekend with will love it, too.
What are your plans for this holiday weekend and what essentials are you taking along?
Until Next Time…

This is a great list! I was going to do my son’s birthday party Sunday but too many people had other plans. Now we probably are just going to do something small for my son.
I love long weekends. Next time I’ll be sure to pack all things essential.
Wonderful tips for a long road trip. We usually forget one thing or the other especially the blanket. Thanks for sharing!!
I still have some old style pictures and now and then I’m looking at them and definitely miss those times. As for recommended books, I think I’d love to read “According to a Source” by Abby Stern.
A good book is a must for long weekend. And really good coffee at home or a local coffee shop.
Those do sound like great ideas. I just hate it how hot it’s been here. I really don’t want a warm blanket at present. But on a cool weekend that sounds so nice.
After a holiday weekend traveling and being busy this sounds like a much-needed weekend!
Ha Ha such a fun read. I agree on the big hat, and book, in my case two or three. Instant camera is also handy
We are going on a long weekend soon. And I am packing a library 🙂 Well, that is just me.
Nice post! It forces you to think about the time you should be taking from your day to just enjoy the simple life. My cell phone would definitely come along with me. It holds my books, games, contact, and social media outlets. Oh, and my Maltese Milo.
That sounds like a great list to me. A great book is a essential.
Yes definitely all esstentials- pretty much all the things I brought with me to Rhode Island labor day weekend!
I hope you had a wondeful time!
