We are packing ourselves up to spend 4 days at the beach (social distanced – no exceptions, no worries) for a little Weekend Trip To Newport Beach. We need a little getaway, so my parents, sister/fiancé & Adam, Jack + I are loading up and peacing out of Missouri for the weekend. We already know every precaution to take on the airplanes, I’ve stocked up on antibacterial wet wipes to wipe EVERYTHING down and we will all be donning our masks in public. That being said, we are SO excited to get out and go hang on the beach for the next 4 days. We are staying in my aunt’s beach house while we are there which is big enough for all of us to spread out and in directly on the water. This is our first big trip with Jack while he is mobile (we did go to NYC when he was 3 months old), so it’s a bigger trip packing-wise. I’m going to share what I’m bringing for J and how I’m packing his stuff to get the most out of our suitcases. Let’s dive into this.

WEEKEND TRIP TO NEWPORT BEACH WITH A BABY (PACKING GUIDE)!
Some notable things I packed for me:
- 3 swimsuits
- my S|M cup
- can’t live without it – even bought one for J specifically for this trip
- skincare
- specifically my travel sized Hyaluronic Acid + Time Eraser from Eterno. The Hyaluronic Acid is fantastic for maintaining hydration while you are at the beach (hello, super-drying salt water), and the Time Eraser basically eliminates my fine lines + wrinkles (you can learn more about this product HERE).
- BONUS: you can use code TAYLOR30 for a discount at checkout. Literally use that Hyaluronic Acid every single day!

We couldn’t need a vacation MORE than right now – Jack needs some sunshine and so do I! Adam will spend the trip under the umbrella (hi fair skin LOL). But honestly, packing for a baby seems overwhelming at first – but you can see how things pack up nicely in his little suitcase and diaper bag!
What would you pack on a beach trip with you little one?!
