Dear Beach,

You were fantastic.  I LOVED playing in the ocean.  And as much as I do love Lake Michigan, if I'm being totally honest, it really doesn't compare to the ocean.  However, I do NOT love the sunburn that I now have.  I cannot sit back and I have not slept in a long time.  Also I cannot wear regular shoes.  Why do you do this to me?  I wear sunscreen, I follow the instructions, and still, this!!??!!  Not ok.  I will be back to one of your relatives someday (in January if not sooner) and I would really really appreciate it if you didn't thank me like this next time.  Is it a deal?

Thanks,

me
