Introducing.....

MY NEW BEACH CHAIR!! :-)
The Ostrich 3n1 beach chair is pretty much the bomb- yes, I just called it "the bomb"

This chair is great. You can sit up and use it as a sand chair, pull the bottom up and lounge back, or lay on your stomach. It even has a place for your face where you can lay on your stomach, place your arms through the arm holes, and read a book. No more holding myself up while on my stomach trying to read. It has a carrying strap and a cupholder, as well.

A few weeks ago my friend Holly spotted this chair at the beach and asked the lady sitting in it all about it. Well, when it came time for WEG to get his sister a birthday present, he was drawing a blank. I knew this was the perfect gift because she's a teacher, has the summers off, and lives in Charleston- therefore, she goes to the beach a lot! I told him about the chair (the mack daddy of all beach chairs, I think I called it), he liked the idea, and he ordered one for her.

Well, when we got home from the wedding Friday night, the box with the chair was there. WEG asked if I wanted to look at the chair and of course I said yes. I commented that the box sure was large for one chair, and as he was opening it he told me "Well, I thought I'd get another one as a surprise for someone else who really deserves it." (aka, me!!) I was so freaking excited because I certainly wasn't going to buy myself an expensive beach chair. WEG deserves major props for surprising me with the best beach chair I've found in a long time!!

And, a little secret- these chairs usually cost around $85-$90, but you can get last year's version (the one I have) for $45 here- CampingStation.com The only difference is the new version has a pillow that folds over, but for $40 difference, you can buy one of those bathtub pillows and make do or just not use one!! Seriously, if you like sand chairs, but also like to be able to lay on your back and stomach this chair is for you!
