I'll be going on an 8 day road trip to the Maritime provinces with DH after the Labour Day weekend. DH's university class is getting together for a weekend to celebrate 35 years since they graduated (faculty of Foresty). DH and I were married the summer before his final year, so I know all these folks. We will be amongst friends!

DH and I will be on the road for 2-3 days, then staying at a coastal resort for 3 days, then a leisurely drive home. Activities will revolve around some water sports, gentle hiking, visiting a farmers market, or just hanging out. Evenings will be barbecues, a lobster boil, and stories and songs around a bonfire. Nothing fancy.

After playing in my closet, I've put together 2 different capsules.

#1 is blue and white with red accents.
#2 is black and white with dusty pink and olive accents.

Both have 1 pair jeans, 2 pair pants, 1 pair shorts, 7 tops including light sweaters, 1 topper, 1 trench (the black trench is hard to see), a scarf, 3 pairs footwear, a bathing suit, a light bag (Lepliage). I'm bringing a hoodie to sacrifice to bonfire nights (smoke?). I'll be throwing my hiking boots into the car, though I think the sneakers (kitted out with inserts) will be good enough. I'll also bring an additional bag with some workout gear.

Which capsule do you think works better for an early September getaway? Am I missing anything?
