Beach Day!!!

When you live grow up really close to the Great Lakes you don’t really need to go to the ocean. There’s beautiful beaches and water as far as the eye can see. Saturday the weather was perfect. When someone suggested going to the beach everyone was on board. It was two hours on th MRT and bus but it was worth it. The water was freezing and few people were swimming but I had to swim. It was my first time in the ocean! It was amazing and I couldn’t believe I had never been there before! I dove into a wave, the heat instantly leaving my body, the salty taste creeping in at the corners of my mouth. I swam out until I had to dive deep to touch the bottom. We played football, chatted, drew in the sand, and when it started to get dark someone made a bonfire. I left with the others from my school around eight so we could make our ten o’clock curfew. It had been an incredible day, I met lots of new people and hung out with some that I have known for what feels like a really long time. But when I got home I was horribly burnt! I NEVER burn in the US, to be honest, I didn’t even think about sunscreen. The burn was bad but I still think it was worth it. That day will be one I remember for a very long time.
