Hahaaaa, had a family trip to the beach yesterday.

Took an absolute age to get there due to parents arguing over which beach to go to.

I think that we'd been to about 6 before Mum decided she liked it. Seriously.

(If you're interested, it was West Beach near Llandudno, Wales, only a certain way up it to a point where there are rocks AND sand, and you can see out to sea as well as across to the rest of Wales.)

On one of the beaches we went to, we sat down on the rocks and ate egg sandwiches while Mum assured everyone that, once the tide went out, there would be sand. (We were all getting pretty uncomfortable on the rocks.) Eventually, my sister put her wetsuit on, waded as deep as she could go and assured everyone, with the help of a snorkel, that it was rocks all the way. (Which prompted another beach move.)

Thanks to a trip down Llandudno Pier, however, I now have a pirate flag and a copy of Ghostbusters on DVD. The latter only cost £2.99 so I'm not sure if it's of a similar nature to the flag. I hope not.
