Beach, sunshine, water... summer. Although we, as in students across the United States, have been on summer vacation for over a month now, I think it is fair to say we are loving every bit of it! Not only can we sleep in, go to the beach, and hang out with friends, we can also stay up late (for those of us who do not already), and have no worries.
The beach is the definition of summer time: cool breeze, catching the waves, warm sand between the toes, and laying out soaking up some vitamin D. Last week when my sister, mom, cousin, and I were down at Newport my mom pointed out the fact that everybody there had a smile on their face, no matter young or old, everyone was smiling. When I think of the joy and happiness the beach brings to many, I think of my window decal on my car: "No Bad Days". Next to the words is a little palm tree.
I do not think summer would be considered summer if nobody went to the beach. The beach is the essense of summer! If there was no beach, there would be only "bad days."
Until next time,
Amanda
