Just got back from our fabulous week at WKORV-N.
We love traveling and exploring the world but there is definitely something to be said for being familiar with a location, ready to relax the moment you arrive. I hear us saying "hit the ground running" and "we got this down!" to our guests the moment the plane touches ground.
We are beach, rather than pool, lovers but MUST have shade from the sun. Like most of you and from the beginning, we have perfected our "packing list" routine. This has always included chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, etc. Our "Vacation in a Box" supply has it's own special space in our garage. Each year, we see more and more people doing the same.
This year, we found a GAME CHANGER! We WON the beach with our new set up and thought we just had to share!!!!
People were so impressed that they were walking by all day asking us where we got them and taking pictures.
Each comes in a small, VERY lightweight bag (approx 4 lbs each and we fit both tents in a small duffel), easy to set up (10 mins going up/5 to break down) and with appropriate amount of securing in the sand, they were able to withstand the trade winds even on the windiest day! They come in multiple sizes/colors and really great for families with small kids that need covering from the sun.

Next year, we should come with a couple of cases of them and set up a booth at the "crafts fair"......we would make a killing! Easily get-able on Amazon though:

I also recommend these screw anchors for extra security in the wind:
