person A: Just the other day my girlfriend and I were getting ready for the beach_comma_ but right before we left it started to pour rain.
person B: That sucks.   Did you end up coming up with an alternate plan?
person A: Well_comma_ when looking outside you could see a clear patch in the distance... So we kinda just hoped for the best to wait it out.. We finally did get to go!
person B: That's good to hear.  How was the beach?
