A long time ago I went to the beach. Continuing down the road，my sister and two brothers and I sang songs to keep us from being bored.

Deciding where to stop for dinner was a real challenge. Everyone wanted to eat at a different restaurant. Finally Dad stopped at Cracker Barrel. I chose green beans，potatoes，and steak for my dinner. We all drank hot cocoa and had ice-cream for sweet food.

At first we had hoped to reach our destination（目的地），Pensacola，before midnight，but it seemed impossible. Just after we crossed the boundary between Georgia and Florida，my dad stopped at a hotel.

Keeping quiet not to wake the others staying at the hotel，we tiptoed（踮着脚走）out at 6：00 a. m. Later the next morning，we arrived at the house in Pensacola. The Whites，my mom's friends，were staying with us. Never is there a boring moment when we are together. Of course we were very tired from our trip，so we rested all day.

Plenty of fun in the sun was in store for us the next day. We got everything ready to get out on the beach but I had forgotten something very important-sunscreen. I was quite sunburned by the end of that day. I was too sunburned to go out and have fun.

Unmovable，I lay on the sofa，watching television. While I rested，I dreamed of the fun I was missing. There would be only one day left before we went home，I hoped I would get better. Yet I was already all right. Jumping off the sofa，I put on my suit and enjoyed my last day on the beach.
