It’s taken me four years, but I think I’ve got our what we bring to the beach situation under control. Last year, I was only brave enough for a few solo trips to the beach with both kids (being outnumbered can be especially daunting when you throw the ocean, and busy parking lots, and loads of people, and snack-hungry seagulls into the mix).
