| HTML clipboard 30 years ago is when you could say that the Zip-n-go Blanket™ concept  started, if you ask my mom.... Ever since I was young I have always loved the outdoors, sunshine, nature, and mountains, but never loved the grass, dirt, wet ground, and bugs that came along with it. My mom would sit me on a blanket (that is me on the right) in the grass and she said I wouldn't ever go off the blanket. I didn't like the feel of grass and I still don't till this day! HTML clipboard Fast forward 27 years later I found myself with my son w ho was throwing a fit at the beach because he hated the feel of wet sand. My small beach towel wasn't doing the trick of keeping him or me off the wet sand and hence the Zip-n-go Blanket™ came forth. I searched for the perfect waterproof outdoor blanket , but the ones I found on the internet or at the stores were either too hard to fold, too small, had separate carrying cases or straps that I knew I would lose, never seemed to fit back in the original bag, or were cheaply made. I was looking for a high quality water resistant blanket that could keep my son and I dry and clean, something I could zip up, carry on my shoulder as a tote bag, had no separate carrying case, and had some storage space to place snacks, water bottles, keys, and diapers, but couldn't find it. HTML clipboard I was on a mission and decided to see if my mom, who is an excellent seamstress, could make what I was looking for. After spending a year finding the best materials and designing prototypes my mother and I came up with the Zip-n-go Blanket™. It was important for us to keep production in America and that is why our blankets are made in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We hope that customers will find this important too! I am a Mom of two handsome boys; Michael (3) and Samuel (1) seen here on our Black Watch Plaid picnic blanket and live in Virginia Beach, VA with my husband Ken and my Chesapeake Bay Retriever seen here on our pet and dog blanket, Lilly.
