Hours dissolved in swimming, wave-playing, and sandcastle building. The simple joy made leaving difficult, but as the sun lowered toward the horizon, we packed up reluctantly.
The drive home carried the satisfied exhaustion of a perfect day—sun-kissed skin, sand in unexpected places, and the shared memory of a wonderful beach day we'd eagerly repeat.
