The Atlantic Ocean




I have now seen the Atlantic Ocean twice.  The first time was two weeks ago when Clay, Gab and I ventured there on a sunny but chilly afternoon just so I could SEE it.  This weekend when our friends were in town we took them.  They are original West Coasters who never before had seen the Atlantic.  Sunday was a beautiful sunny day, with temperatures double what they were on Saturday.  We grabbed our kites, and piled in the mini van after a yummy pancake breakfast (cooked by Clay).  The wind was TOO strong for our kites, one was lost to the ocean and the other never had a chance with a terrible tangled string.  We ran in the sand, touched the water, laughed and all had a great time being outside and with good friends.  I am looking forward to many more trips to the ocean, especially once it is hot out and all the shops are open, and I can bask in the sun.  Don't ask how it will work with a newborn and a toddler at  a crowded beach!
