I’m not a beach person at all but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like reading about it, let alone that I don’t like writing about it when I write things that I do here and there. I love these ideas so much! I especially love the cornhole idea because I’ve seen it being played either in some show or some movie and thought about wanting to play it one day myself.
