I was cold on this trip, I guess next time I will have dress warmer then I did. It was fun walking along the beach looking at all kids of different thing such as the list above says. We did see a lot of things on this trip, but a lot of it was something that we have already seen. But now it was all blooming which was pretty cool, because every flower we seen were beautiful. Next time I hope we see more new and better things.
