The
morning sun filtered through the blinds in my room and proceeded to wake me up. At first, I was bothered by the thought of waking up to face a new day. But then I remembered, the
forecast is supposed to be sunny today. It's the perfect beach day. Suddenly excited, I leapt from my comfortable bed and thoughtfully picked out the
bathing suit I wanted to wear. When dressed for the beach, I skipped to kitchen to assemble a nice
picnic lunch for once I got to the sand. I packed sandwiches, chips and lemonade, making sure to pack
ice packs to keep the food cold.
Finally ready to go to the beach, I hopped in my car and off I drove. As I made my way to the shoreline, I noticed the sun beaming down across the earth. The
temperature gauge on dashboard displayed 106 degrees.
Ignoring the
high temperatures, I proceeded to the beach and when I got there I spread out my
towel and stretched into the warm sun. Three hours later, the sun still beating, I packed my things and headed for home. Once into my car, I noticed the painful
glow radiating my from my skin. Upon further inspection, I discovered a nasty fire red
sunburn flanking my entire body. The sight of the burn drew my attention to the searing pain I was experiencing. I
sprinted into the kitchen to find the
aloe vera gel. Next time, the
sunscreen will be the first thing on my mind when planning a beach day.
