And for what? So you can brag to "Phil" back in the office on Monday about how much fun you had out at the beach or down on the shore last weekend.

Yeah, I'm good.

Miami's beaches are pretty dope for being in an urban area. I've also heard good things about Chicago's beaches (haven't gone, would like to).
