Q1: Beach Days

Now that warm weather is upon us and summer is near, the beaches are finally going to be opening up! Most beaches open for the season over Memorial Day weekend. I really enjoy spending a lot of my time at the local beaches over the summer, me and my sister make a whole day trip out of it. We will always leave early in the morning, making a stop for breakfast. It is a long drive to get there, about an hour, which is why we leave so early. The car is packed with everything we could possibly need, drinks and food for lunch, beach towels, tanning lotion and sunglasses. Once we arrive, we instantly find the perfect spot before everyone else starts piling in. With our towels laid out and our tanning lotion applied, we just lay there for hours, rarely stepping foot in the water. I love spending time at the beach and out in the sun. The worst part about the beach is how crowded it gets. Obviously, you don’t want to go on a day that is cloudy and raining. It’s impossible to not be on top of everyone on a nice day because of how crowded it gets, especially with Sunset being a well known beach in the area. Even worse, screaming children. I see the beach as a place to just sit back and relaxingly enjoy myself. It’s hard to do that when there are kids running around screaming with no parental supervision. Even though I spend the entire day just sitting around, being in the sun is rather tiring. By the end of the day I am completely drained from soaking up the sun. But I know I can always look back on the days that I spend on the beach and know it is all worth it.
