The Life Aquatic

I've loved marine life for as long as I can remember.  The sea is something I've always been fascinated with.  As a kid I'd spend my time watching documentaries about whales & dolphins and reading books about the deep sea.  One of my favorite childhood memories is visiting Sea World in Orlando.

Mike and I visited the Atlantis Marine World aquarium in Riverhead~  It was a perfect magical day, the closest thing I've had to a vacation all summer.  While Atlantis Marine World may not be as impressive as Sea World, I felt so alive and in touch with my childhood as I gazed at coral reefs, held starfish, and felt rays swim past my fingertips.

I want to live in a house on the sea.  I want to swim with dolphins, I want to wear starfish in my hair.  Something about the deep and the unknown pulls me in.  I wonder, if I jumped into the sea and just kept swimming, would I find what I am looking for?
