Beach Floaty Thingys

It’s the summer of 1998. Sisters Grace and Hope have been looking forward to this much-needed vacation to exotic Myrtle Beach, SC all year long. But their girls’ weekend gets derailed when they a family dispute compels them to bring their four rowdy nieces and nephews along. Beachy Floaty Thingys is an ode to vacations gone wrong, and playful exploration of the inconvenience of involuntary caretaking.
