The Perfect Day at the Beach

1 short stroll down an overgrown sandy path

a pinch of light wind

acres of sunlight sand

1 brilliant cloudless sky

1,000 waves creasing the endless blue

1 vibrant pink and purple polka-dotted beach umbrella

1 chocolate iced cake waiting in the cooler

several books filled to the brim with action

countless sandcastles dotting the horizon

1,000,000 delicate and beautiful sea shells

pods of dolphins jumping and twirling

1 teaspoon paradise

          To create the perfect day at the beach, start with acres of sunlight sand. Add a pinch of light wind, just enough to waltz through your hair. Then, take one brilliant cloudless sky and combine it with the endless blue sea. Sprinkle in a thousand waves creasing the ocean. Next, stick a vibrant pink and purple polka-dotted beach umbrella into the sparkling sand. Include a small cooler that holds one chocolate iced cake. Mix in several books filled to the brim with action and adventure and stir until ready. Simmer in countless sandcastles to dot the horizon. Wait until it is broiling at 98 F, and then blend in delicate and beautiful sea shells. Drizzle in a few pods of dolphins jumping and twirling merrily. Finally, glaze everything with a teaspoon of paradise. Now, sit back and relax.

Optional: Finish with a delicate blend of ice-water, lemon, and sugar.
