Really, from a shoreline perspective, there's nothing more to see than from the shore of one of the local Great Lakes. You can just <i>tell</i> it's different though. It feels bigger. :) I was speaking with a friend (I’m sorry, I really forgot whom it was) about the immensity of the ocean.

But I don't think I'll be going near the ocean for a while. But if I do, I'm sure I'll enjoy it as much as you did... and the girls. :) That’s real deep Shawn… real deep. ;)

When I was younger, my grandparents lived in Halifax. I would spend most of the summer with them and that included many trips to the beach...which was the Atlantic Ocean. Don't even get me started on sand in your suit! It is something amazing and makes me realize how small we are. I remember my grandfather pointing off into distance where the water met the sky and saying "Way over there is Ireland. That's where we came from Carrie." I couldn't see Ireland of course, and I felt so tiny. I hear the Rocky Mountains are the same way. No picture will ever do it justice. You just have to see it. Jim & I flew over the Grand Canyon and that was the same feeling. Nothing I'd ever seen in a book was even close to what I saw. Now I want to go back and see it up close. ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING! God did some of his finest work that day. Yes, the ocean is something special. When I was younger, my grandparents lived in Halifax.
