VIDEO: 100-year-old woman sees the ocean for the first time in her life

Ruby Holt is 100 years and spent most of her life on a farm in rural Tennessee, picking cotton and raising four children.

And she's never seen the ocean or been to the beach.

"I've heard people talk about it and how wonderful it was and wanted to see it, but I never had the opportunity to do so," said Ruby.

And now thanks to her Assisted Living facility and Wish of a Lifetime, a charity that grants wishes to the elderly, she finally has.

Ruby went on an all-expenses paid trip to Alabama where she finally got to see the ocean for the first time.

It was also the furthest she's ever traveled from home.

Amazing.
