Question
I came across a large wooden box, partially buried in the sand. I dug the box out of the sand and noticed that it had an old-fashioned lock on it. Curious to see what the box contained, I found a large stone and broke open the lock, only to find that the box was full of contents sealed within waterproof bags. There were some bits of parchment, a sickle, a hammer, a compass, and small pieces of rock and mud. It seemed like an odd collection of items. I wanted to take a look at what was written on the parchment, but I was worried that if I opened the bag too hastily, the sheets might get damaged. So I decided to drive to grandmother's home and carefully open the contents of the box in the garage.
I felt a shiver of excitement as I walked back to my car with the box. My grandmother lived away from the city, and there was hardly ever anything to do here! I had expected this visit to be extremely dull as I preferred the fast-paced life in the city, but perhaps I was wrong after all! After a quick drive to grandmother's home, I went into the garage, opened the box, and spread all its contents on the floor. Carefully picking up the parchments, I started reading the first sheet, at the very top of which were the words, "A man's adventure to the center of the Earth." I settled down to read with a smile on my face.

"I was walking down the beach one morning last summer while visiting my grandmother." fits best — it explains why the narrator was on the sand and connects to the later visit to grandmother's home.
