Hi , My husband is actually from Tacoma, WA, but his only relatives live in seaside and have for 40 years. So we get to claim a part of the family. We hope to get out there this summer at some point. We haven't been to the sea for several years, we would move there in a min. if it was just us, but we are raising grandkids, they have never been to the sea, well they were on the Atlantic down south, but that isn't the real ocean...LOL. Maybe the North Atlantic, there is a beauty to like Cape Hatteres and we use to live in South Carolina and there were some pretty beaches there, but real estate took over so many places. We like to camp in Gold Coast campground, at least the last time it was vert primative camping and that is what we like. no lights, tv, etc. anyway welcome.
