To try to describe how we felt about seeing the ocean just reminds me how limited words are in communicating what happens inside us all.
The kids thought it was the most beautiful sight they had ever beheld. I agree. Something about the ebb and flow, the vastness, the beauty is just spiritual. It just cries out of a Creator. So, I will just share some pictures I took and leave the words out, because they would be wholly inadequate anyway.
What a lovely land is our America.
