This is a story of my first time going to a beach. I would like to go with my mom and family but I went with my brother, two friends and my friend's family. We have been friends for the past 7 years we grew up together. For me, my brother, and one of my friend it was our first time been in a beach we woke up early because our friend tell us to be at his house at 9:00 a.m when we got there his family was packing the things they were going to take with them we help them to pack.

We started talking about what car we were going to take so my friend Alex decided to take his car. We started packing us stuff and other things that his mom told him to pack because the truck was full already.

 Alex says y’all ready? We said yeah, we left the house and started driven we pass by downtown it look cool but I rather look at it in night is more attractive for me Alex stop at the first gas station outside of Houston when I look back I just saw the building from downtown the first thing I told them in spanish was “se ve chido Houston por fuera” that picture of the city is still in my head, we got something to eat in our way to the beach.

In our way we start talking about memories we all have together for example when we used to playing soccer or ding dong ditch in our apartments after that I took a 30 minutes nap, I don’t know where we start listened to music I think my friend Melvin or brother Angel say let’s guess the name of the song it was fun doing that, after that we were close to the beach. 

After 20 minutes we got there his family was there already unpacking the things we did the same, I take my shoes and sucks off that was my first time feeling the sand in my feet than Alex said let’s go feel the water it was cold we start having fun, after that we went to help Alex to fish we got a lot of them, after that we went to swim again and I decide to walk in the beach.

We changed clothes and his mom called us to get something to eat. They did carne asada. We all made tacos which were delicious,I put some salsa in but it was really spicy. After eating we chill on the beach, I was not feeling good so we decide to go his house they want me to stay but i was getting sick at the end they understand me so my friend take me to my house but before we left, we start talking about some memories and then we left that day was fun with my friends and brother they were other 2 friends we love if they could come with us but one say he can’t the other move to North Carolina but i hope one day we hang out again when we used to do few years ago.

That day we all had fun together, I have pictures of that day on the beach. We had a good time with my friends and It would be better if my other 2 friends wouldn’t miss it.
