To the Editor:
Ten-hour trips are not that fun or exciting, but the 10-hour trip to Long Beach Island from Ohio is completely worth it. Long Beach Island is an island off of New Jersey. We call it LBI for short. My grandparents own a house there and since my family goes to LBI every year, it feels like another home to me.
On LBI, I love the hushed sounds of the rain falling softly outside at night, the hot sand that covers my feet on the beautiful beaches, that scent of fresh air that you don’t smell in Ohio.
