6.  Name one 20th century invention that will be obsolete within the next 20 years.  Encyclopedias
7.  Use one word to describe your favorite place.  Escape
8.  Why?  Because the beach we go to is very non commercial and we get to spend every day, all day long on the beach doing nothing but looking for shells and sea glass! It truly is an 'escape' from our everyday life and it's never long enough!
