| Amy: How was your family trip to the beach last weekend? Erin: It was amazing. We had a blast. Amy: What did you do? Erin: During the day, we spent every minute at the beach. My husband and I relaxed and read books, and the kids played in the water. They had a blast playing in the water and building sandcastles. Amy: That sounds so nice. What about in the evenings? Erin: In the evening, we cooked dinner at the house we rented and spent time together. Honestly, everything was very simple but perfect. Amy: I might have to steal your idea and take a trip like that with my family. Erin: You should. I’ll give you the name of the place we stayed. You’ll love it. | |
