Your first trip to the beach...
Dear Nicky,
We're at the beach! This is a first for you. We've been here before, of course, but I'm extremely eager to see how you react to everything. I can't wait, actually. It was a long, hard drive to get down here, but you didn't complain at all. Traffic was slow going for no reason other than rubbernecking. Rubbernecking is the term for slowing down to gawk at accidents or people that are pulled over by cops. A big accident, even if everything is off the road and nobody's hurt will slow down traffic for miles, just so nosy people can gape like slack-jawed yokels at someone else's misfortunes, and then as soon as your past the point of the accident, traffic picks right up again like nothing happened. We're in a house with your aunt and uncle and two cousins. We have the top half, they've got the bottom half. Everybody's nuts for you, of course. Despite the trouble we had getting down here and a bit of squabbling Mom and I did in the late afternoon, I'm really looking forward to our time here. I think you'll like the beach a lot. Your time at the beach itself will have to occur in small intervals, since we don't want you to burn and you're too young to put sunscreen on. It's going to be so much fun!
Love,
Dad
