Out of the mouths of someone else's babe

On the bus tour, Ken explained how NASA owned the largest beachfront real estate. Most of it is still unbuilt and in its natural state. It was beautiful and gave us an idea of what Florida once looked like. Even the launch pads that are built by the water were beautiful. A great idea to be near the ocean, for sure.

While we had a snack and sat outside at the visitor's center, I suddenly realized something.

Me: "We didn't think this through very well. We should've brought our bathing suits and traveled the twelve miles to Cocoa Beach. We could've seen the Atlantic. Done some swimming. I mean, have your kids ever seen the Atlantic Ocean?"

SueG: "Um...wait, yes. Last year on our trip to Myrtle Beach."

Me: "Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Okay then, but they didn't get to swim in it--not that today is a day we would swim in the ocean."

Alex: "What did you just ask? Have we seen what?"

Me: "I asked your mother if you'd ever seen the Atlantic Ocean."

Alex: "I just saw it on the bus tour!"
