A Day at the Beach

AUTHORS NOTE: When I was in Florida I went to the beach daily to search for shells and shark teeth. It was truly an adventure with my family and that's where my inspriation came from.

A day at the beach is supposed to be relaxing right? That's not the case for my family though, because there is always something going on when we're at the beach.l This hectic day is a true adventure.

Hitting the beach is an adventure, as always but during our Florida vacation this year we spent our time at the beach searching for sea shells and shark teeth. Many of the Florida beaches we went to this year were known for their spectacular shark teeth finds and beautiful shell discoveries. Of course my siblings and I dove into the finding opportunity.

Heads low, eyes sharp, searching for just one thing, shark teeth, although along the way you may find some neat shells.You want to quit but you know that the next time the water level falls there will be shark teeth waiting for you to snatch the up. Finding shark teeth is not an easy task, because you have to have good eyes and quick hands which many people do not have as a skill. To put the art of finding shark teeth into three simple words, concentration, luck, and patience. Those are the three key things you need to have to be successful.

Besides working hard to find sea's creation while you're on the beach a little relaxing never hurt anyone. Being at the beach with my family is crazy and for sure I have some great memories that I will never forget. One thing is that beaches are the building blocks for great memories.
