I moved down to the Hampton Roads, Va area back in May of 2000. Susan moved down here in 1997 around May as well. She has absolutely loved the ocean since she’s been down here, but the whole ocean way of life had to grow on me. I just could not stand the bridges and tunnels. It is a starting and stopping way of life. And I really don’t like to swim in the ocean. I know, it is crazy, but I don’t.
But the whole area is growing on me. Susan and I spent a weekend with her sister when they rented some NC waterfront property down near Nags Head, NC. We slept in a downstairs room right off the ocean. That changed my tune quite a bit. I would love to even own a piece of property right on the ocean if I could afford it. So peaceful watching the surf roll in and out and going to sleep at night just listening to the waves hit the shore. And the sea air really clears out your lungs. It is like an extra charge of something. The more I live down here, the more I love it down here. And that is a good thing, because I don’t think I could drag my wife away.
