was cut short when Camille approached the coast...of course as kids, the four of us didn't truly realize what was happening, but my parents did. We were long gone by the time the hurricane hit, and it's a shame, we had such a great time (first time our whole family visited the ocean). Of course, being so long ago, a lot of the things, places, etc. we visited are probably not there anymore, let alone the hurricane damaging everything.
