The best day at the beach includes- building a sand castle, collecting shells, flying a kite and . . . seeing a whale Well, maybe-but only if you're especially lucky and you're willing to change your perfectly crafted plans. Caterina need to figure that out in time to have a perfectly unplanned, perfectly wonderful beach day.
