The Beauty of the Sea

Our family took a trip out to the beach this afternoon. Typically, in Nova Scotia, the ocean doesn't get warm enough to swim in comfortably until September, but today it was warmer than I can remember.

Even though my wife & I spent most of our time looking after our kids, we did get some time to swim. Swimming in the ocean is my favorite aquatic experience. When I'm swimming or floating on some large waves, I feel especially the grandeur of nature. Something about looking up to the horizon and realizing the next stop is Bermuda is awe-inspiring. Plus, as the swells move me it seems like I'm traveling on the earth's heartbeat. I could stay there all day.
