I can't wait to read this. I've been dieing to get it from the library but I'm like 15th in line :( My favorite part of going to the beach is showing off my new bikini. I just got it from Victoria's Secret. It's black with white polka dots and it has ruffles! So cute!

I actually haven't been to the beach in years (depressing, right?!) However, I used to love to go with my cousins and just build sand castles and splash around in the water...it just reminds me of being young again and I miss it!!!

My favourite thing about going to the beach is cooling off in the sea without turning blue from cold. A serious risk in England!

I have tons of favorite things about going to the beach-even though I haven't been sice 2005- but I'll just list 3:
1. The sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
2. The beauty and photographing the scene.
3. Looking for seashells.

Ok..I'm weird, I know, but I am not a beach fan...I don't like the ocean (who knows what's lurking there), I hate the sand, and then its too hot and I can't go into the ocean (sincec I'm scared of it)...I've lived in Florida for 20 years, so of course I've been tons of times, but give the pool any day! If I had to choose something, then it would be the sound of the waves crashing!
And I blogged about the contest here
