Personal+Narrative+RGJ

I was on the way to the beach, jamming out to the radio with Julian and Tyler. A drive that lasted 2 hours felt as if it only lasted 5 minutes. We arrived to Sandy Shores beach resort, unpacked our stuff, and went down to the beach. The white sand beach and its crystal clear water amazed me and freed me from all my stress. The soft white sand and salty smell of the ocean relaxed my body.

The first night Tyler, Julian and I were playing football on the beach, and we met some hot girls that were pretty cool. The next day we hung out with them. We went swimming, played volleyball, and played my favorite board game, Apples to Apples. The third day at the beach we were all really tired because we stayed out until around 3 in the morning, so we just chilled in the hotel. We ate and watched the Home-run Derby and then the All Star game. The fourth day we woke up and met another kid name Austin who was the funniest kid I ever met. He taught us how to skim board. We ate the best tasting pizza in St. Petersburg at the Gondaleir.

The fifth day we woke up at five in the morning and went fishing in the bay, and then we went offshore to fish for grouper. Offshore fishing went great, and we caught 6 huge keeper size gag grouper which we later ate for dinner. When we got back to the beach from our fishing trip, we met this nice group of girls which we hung out with for the rest of the week. Emily and Jelissa came over the sixth day and we played beach volleyball, went swimming, played wiffle ball, and then hung out in the hotel eating sandwiches. When Emily and Jelissa were leaving we hopped in their cars trunk without Jelissa's mom knowing and we drove in the trunk for about a mile and then she found out we were in the back and she freaked out. She drove us back and when we got back to the hotel we started laughing hysterically.

The last day, of course, was the worst day and seemed as if it arrived to soon. Our crazy, fun, awesome, and exciting week at the beach had come to an end. We packed up all of our stuff and put it in the car. The very last thing we did was say bye to all 15 of the new friends we had made. We finally got in the car and drove back to Tampa.
