I was kind of worried about it but it was great. I plan on writing about it this month as I continue to explain how each visit has gone. (Randomly: my family also took my brother's girlfriend to the ocean for the first time last summer.) Anyway, yes! Do let us know if anything ever comes of the idea!

I'm not overly sure about the vacation together - hadn't even thought about it before - but your mention opened a little door in my heart for considering it.<br /> <br /> Birthmom has never seen the ocean. We took the kids back when they were still foster kiddos for their first time and I remember her telling us that. Maybe one day, we can swing a trip...would be fun to see her first trip to the water, too! ;-) <br /> <br /> It's an idea anyway.....I'll be sure to let you know if I ever bring it to fruition!
