Vacationing in North Carolina

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.

Northeast Georgia is God’s Country

This area of the country just seems to be booming these days. My sister and her family moved up there from Florida over a year ago now, and they just love it. Her husband, Greg, builds houses, and they are planning on moving into their new own new house at the beginning of this summer. I think that once Susan has our daughter in a couple weeks, and she recuperates, we should be good enough to travel in June. Susannah will be almost three months old then. What fun! I am looking forward to seeing the area where they live. We want to look at the real estate in the area. Maybe buy a retirement home up their. We will look at the Ellijay real estate market, the Blairsville area and other areas around there.
