Since we visited Charleston in February, it was warm enough to swap out my camel coat for a denim jacket and bring sundresses and sandals, although it wasn’t bikini-and-shorts weather. This is what I packed for the trip, which would also work for a spring break road trip or early spring beach weekend.
H and I started talking in January about going somewhere warm for a weekend to escape the DC weather. Charleston was the perfect fit, since I love the South and pastel houses and H loves military history and pimento cheese.
Normally, my Thanksgiving includes collards, weirdly warm Virginia weather, and at least one trip to Talbots with my grandma. I spent this Thanksgiving with H’s family in Connecticut. Although it was different from my usual Thanksgiving, I was excited to visit New England and spend some time with H’s family.
I know you’re imagining a leaf-peeping, apple-picking journey where H and I stay in a cabin and he takes a perfect picture of me throwing my head back laughing while tossing leaves up in the air, but we were planning to go to the Patriots-Panthers football game.
In the past year of adult life, I’ve fine-tuned my weekend packing routine to leave on Friday night after work and come back on Sunday. Based on that experience, here’s my guide to packing perfectly for your weekend getaway!
