What to Wear and Pack for Memorial Day

Memorial Day Packing List!

Can’t believe school is almost out for the summer (in Atlanta we get out right around Memorial Day and go back well before Labor Day). We’re headed to the beach for the long weekend, so thought I’d share what we’re packing! I always think about packing in terms of activities we will be doing, which helps me immensely, or else I’m certain I’d forget something. Listed everything below. Click on highlighted items or keep scrolling to shop! Many of the things will arrive within a week, prior to leaving for the weekend!

Michael handles his own packing, but I ordered him these swim shoes, these casual shoes, and got him a bunch of these suits last year which have been a big hit. He also has a lot of swimsuits from this brand which are forever favorites, and even make “daddy and me” styles.

Hope this is helpful! Enjoy your trip xx
