We will always remember the first time our twins saw the ocean (at age 5) which I caught on video:

Our twins will be age 21 in January and we will be celebrating with them on a cruise (they've seen the ocean many times since that first time!)

I remember it well. I just started to walk and there in front of me glistening in the sunlight the ocean as I watched it began to turn in a counter clock position disappearing for just a second and then suddenly a gurglying sound and the ocean appeared again:D

I grew up right by Jones Beach. It was wonderful!
My Dad was FDNY and on his days off would take me and my older
brother. The beach was pretty empty back then. He would have
each one of us in each arm in the water.
I loved the beach and swimming all my life.
