A LASTING IMPRESSION

BY KELLY MICHAELS

My business associates and I eagerly changed into our flip-flops.

We'd been in meetings all day at a lovely hotel on the beach and couldn't wait to enjoy the blue sky, sun, and waves.

We made our way to the boardwalk, where there were all kinds of vendors, including some selling temporary tattoos. My friends and I were in the mood for some fun. So, we each chose a cartoon character design (mine was a tiny, bright yellow bird), and the temporary tattoos were stenciled to our ankles. We were told that the tattoos would last only until they got wet.
