I went to Florida with some of my family when I was in high school. It was great because it was my first time of seeing the ocean.
California was amazing because it was my first "real" trip "alone." No parent, no chaperon. It was a great feeling to be (almost) 18 and to experience the ocean "my way."
Some of my best friends and I went to Mexico one year for spring break. That of course was an amazing trip. I could honestly lay on an amazing beach for an entire week and never be bored.
Hawaii, of course, was our honeymoon. Rusty and I actually went on a cruise and it was, of course, amazing.
My favorite thing: Reading by the ocean.

And since today is my birthday..... maybe my husband is taking me to the ocean as a surprise gift.... or maybe not. :)
