#boat shell

"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came."    - John F. Kennedy My grandparents lived near the sea, and I would visit them often as a child. Even after they had both passed, I returned to this beach often. I always grew up calling these boat shells, but my mother told me another name for them - lady slippers.
