hhhmmmmmm, i think your daughter and i would get along! lol. and i love the sea. twice i have lived within 15minutes of the ocean. when i moved to dallas the realtor told me what a wonderful place it was . close to the mountains and the sea. the picture of the map of texas in my head, i couldn't think of any beaches. pretty landlocked i thought. then she enlightened me. it was only eleven hours to the mountains in colorado for skiing and less than 6 to padre island for swimming. oh, boy! culture shock! anyway, dot, those are both very refreshing and cool!
