We nearly always spent our summer vacations at the beach when I was growing up. Great memories and I have never gotten tired of seeing the ocean or feeling it wash up on my feet. When we were kids, we always swam in the ocean and occasionally something would touch your foot and you'd give a frantic kick for just a second and then carry on. Then I grew up and although I'll go in a certain ways, gone are the carefree days of swimming out for hours.
Enjoyed your photos. Glad you had a fun vacation.
