Beach Dreams

The air outside was a warm, cool temperature. I was at the beach! I had always wanted to go to the beach! I live in Kansas and if you don't already know, we have no beach. I have lived there all my life. Never even moved from my little house. Ever since I as a little girl I have dreamed of going to the beach, feeling the sand between my toes, and tasting the salt in the water. Everyone use to make fun of me. They told me I was silly. That there were sharks in the water and that the current could take me away in a second, but I didn't care. I just wanted to go to the beach. 

One day my dad came home from work. He had a grin from ear to ear. "Hey Dad! What made you so happy?" I asked. "Well, if you must know, I got a promotion!" He said even happier than before. My mother must have heard him and came in from the kitchen. "Did you just say what I think you said?" she said smiling. "Yep! I got promoted!" he said very happy to share the news. "That's amazing!" my mother said, beaming. "Want to know the best part?" he said his smile bigger than before. "What?" I asked him. "What?" I asked him again "What has been you biggest dream since, well I don't know, forever?" he said knowing I knew what he was talking to. "Are we going to the beach?!?" I asked with the biggest smile and my little legs jumping up and down, "Yes we are!" He said exited to see me so exited. "Mother did you hear that? We're going to the beach!" I said happier than I have ever been. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much Dad! This is the best day ever!" I practically screamed I was so exited. "You're so welcome pumpkin. I'm glad your so exited," he said glad to hear how happy I was. "When do we leave?" I asked him anxiously. "Tomorrow!" he said. "I'm going to go pack," I yelled while running up the stairs. 

Now here I am. At the beach. It's even better than I ever imagined. No sharks. No insane currents. Just me, the sand, and the ocean. The sand between my toes and the taste of salt in my mouth. This is a dream come true!
