Over Memorial Day weekend, I took a day trip with some friends to Long Beach. We spent the day soaking in the sun, getting up the nerve to dip our toes in the frigid water, starting our summer reading, and just generally having a good time! Since our little journey I've been dreaming of a proper beach getaway- nothing but the sand and sea for days and days. There's just something so relaxing about laying on the beach with the sand between your toes, listening to sound of the waves rushing back and forth.

Tell me: Are you planning to take a trip to the beach this summer?
