Getting Outta Dodge And Packing Your Biggest Soccer Shorts.

So, here’s where my mind is this week:
The teensy, tinesy, wonderfully beachtacular part of Cape Cod where I spent magical summers as a kiddo.
Also as a highschooler- one with a penchant for swim team-style bathing suits, despite the fact that even my veryverybest swimming efforts make me look like a howler monkey with a leg cramp.

I also spent these summers wearing bucket hats. And soccer shorts that even a fully grown man would deem too baggy.

Why did those shorts need to be quite so large? And why did I feel the need to be oh-so secured, swimming-wise?

Regardless of style (or a decided lack thereof), I’m thrilled to bitsy bits to be going there next week with my sisters (and bro) and parents and nephews and husband and daughters and family friends.

I may even bring a racerback swimsuit for old time’s sake. (Do they make that style in maternity?)

Better pack some Umbros, too.

Thank you! And I will- even if I don't have as stellar of an outfit anymore...

I'm pretty sure you gave me a pair of those umbros, and that I still have them.

I just fell IN LOVE with Cape Cod. So envious and excited for you all. (At that age every single thing I bought was size XL which on my petite frame was ridiculous. But what else were those hip slung belts for?!?)

I recently found my cross country jacket. 2xl. 2XL!!! I was a size 2. Sigh.

Sounds like many magical memories are ahead!! Enjoy!!

And best of luck with those maternity suits. I have yet to find a racerback style, which is ridic because if there was ever a time where ALL THE THINGS needed to be extra-secure in a swimsuit, pregnancy wins.

I kinda think I need one with those bungee cords used to attach luggage to car roofs...

And I had neon ones like that. I was so rad!!
