After a week of soaking up the sun and snoozing on the sand, the beach party is drawing to a close. Sitting on the beach all night after hours of catharsis-laden conversations with your best friends can be fun, but can also be emotionally and physically draining. At this point, everyone is ready to go home changed by the ocean breeze and all those discharged feels. So as we half-heartedly fold up our beach towels and load our coolers and pool noodles into the car,  let’s take a look back at how we spent our 2016 summer beach vacation.
