A Day at the Beach When I was in fifth grade I went to Cancun, Mexico with my family. It was an adventure of a lifetime that I will never forget. The entire trip my family and I bonded. During our seven day trip we spent a good portion of our time at the beach. At the resort, they had a little outdoor restaurant and a crystal clear swimming pool. I could smell the juicy burgers frying on the grill and the crispy homemade fries cooking in the hot grease. The food was so delicious! After we ate the greasy food we would go and sun bathe on the comfortable lounge chairs and catch some hot rays. The weather was fantastic! I could feel the sun burning my skin and shining down on my body. When we finally had enough sun and our body was melting, we would usually get into the swimming pool. The staff at the resort always organized exciting games for us to play in the pool. I even met some friends that I ended up hanging out with when we were at the pool or in the ocean. It was wonderful to hear all the laughter and families making unforgettable memories. The pool was usually very crowded, but it was so much fun. Just past the pool was the bright blue ocean. It was gorgeous! It was always hot and sunny and the cool breeze from the ocean felt refreshing. The sunrays were so bright that if I didn’t have my sunglasses on the sun would’ve blinded me. It was great to feel the warm sand between my toes. It was like having a foot massage in the white sand. Before I went into the ocean, I had to make sure I put a pound of sunscreen on. I would’ve looked like a bright red cherry if I wouldn’t have put on sunscreen. After the sunscreen soaked into my delicate skin I would run into the blue ocean. The water was like a hot tub and it was early February. The waves were so big and my younger sister and I always dove in them. We didn’t have goggles on our face, so our eyes would sting like a bee
