I lördags åkte jag och min syster till stranden. Vi tog tåget från staden och resan tog ungefär en timme. Vädret var soligt men det blåste ganska mycket. Min syster ville bada direkt, men vattnet var alldeles för kallt. Istället byggde vi ett stort slott av sand. På eftermiddagen köpte vi varsin glass i en liten kiosk. Sedan satt vi på en filt och åt våra smörgåsar. När solen gick ner tog vi tåget hem igen. Det var en riktigt skön dag tillsammans.
