I'm going to miss the ocean

I'm not going to lie, I am really going to miss going to the ocean this year.  We've gone the last two years, and I would absolutely love to go again.  That isn't the plan though, and we've known for a long time.  Last year was our last "big" family vacation with all three of our kids.  We weren't sure when Robert would be leaving, and we had the money saved to really splurge on it.  However, we splurged last year, we bought a car, and we re-did the bathroom...after buying a cheap used car and getting Catherine braces at the end of 2016.  It is not in the budget this year, and we completely accept that.

Every once in a while though, I get online just to look at the pictures.  I see the ocean views, and my heart actually begins to yearn for the ocean.  I'm not an outdoorsy person, and the sun and water aren't really my thing at all, but I almost begin to ache for the ocean.  Maybe it is just because I associate it with vacation and the relaxation of getting away.  We are visiting friends this year for vacation and I know it won't be the same thing, but we will have fun.  Regardless, I am looking forward to a few more months of memories!
