What I Learned at the beach:

1. Even after 3 applications of sunscreen, I still get burned.
2. Naked sunscreen application does not guarantee complete coverage.
2. I can't eat 3 large meals a day and expect my stomach to be happy about it.
3. Allergy meds+greasy food+sun=blacking out
4. A sunburned belly button is nothing to joke about.
5. Cute flipflops aren't necessarily comfortable.
6. Gay men love their short, tight swim trunks.
7. Sand is a free souvenir that finds its way into everything no matter how hard you try to shake it out.
8. The sun zaps your energy so that big night out plans turn into sitting around in your pj's chatting with friends (sometimes that's just as fun as a big night out).
9. Chelsea Handler's book is a great beach read, even better read aloud (but plug the ears on the little ones for this)
10. Kids playing beach games should be kept away from me-HELLO-I am here trying to forget about them for a few days!
11. I really did forget I had this many freckles.
