You'd think something as BIG as the Atlantic Ocean...

...would be MUCH easier to find.  



It took us what seemed like HOURS to find the Atlantic Ocean.  The TomTom kept telling us it was just around the bend, but TomTom lied.  We finally found the ocean at Laite Beach in Camden, ME on our way to Nova Scotia.  We had all flown into Boston (thanks SWA for the free Rapid Rewards flights), stayed the night in Rockport then hit the road for Canada in the morning.  We (Ranee) decided to take the scenic route.  Which added a bit of time to our already long car ride.  Good thing she got the hook up for a sweet road trip ride.  Leather seats, spacious, horrible gas mileage...you know the drill.


I love that Collin took his backpack with him the short distance from the car to the beach.  I'm not exactly sure WHY it happened, it just makes me smile that it happened.  Collin found a bunch of shells.  One of them was occupied - but not for long.  Collin decided to evict it.


Hunter, however, did NOT bring his backpack with him to the beach.  



In just a year we've been to the Pacific Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.  Three down...four more to go!  The Indian Ocean (my vote is for the Seychelles), the Arctic Ocean (you're on your own there), the Caribbean Sea (I vote Cuba or Puerto Rico), and the Gulf of Mexico (Matt says New Orleans is one of his favorite places in the US...so we HAVE to go there).
