I've never been a beach person - nor much of a water person for that matter - there are only lakes and rivers in the land-locked Prairies scoured out of the ground by the glacial action of the last ice age and the meltwaters of the Rocky Mountains .
But, I think I could be... Place name links like Carolina Beach, NC go to Wikipedia. Place name links like Carolina Beach use the local tourism or government website.

To Calabash for Calabash |
Comment
|
Today the clouds parted and the sun shone.
So, of course, a perfect day for a trip to Calabash, NC for Calabash-style seafood. A quick trip down the I-71 and we stopped at Captain Nance's Seafood. Fried shrimp, oysters, crab, and fish (trout, we believe). And hush puppies . Got stuffed, then stopped at St. Nick Nacks, an orgy of Christmas decorations sure to make women's bosom's heave and men's testicles shrink. We've been to a few Christmas stores, like in Pigeon Forge, but this one in Calabash made TFS whip out her wallet and me, well, I didn't whip out anything. ;) But we had some yuks.
Then, back to the deck of the beach house for a Mai Tai or two or three. Of a sort. |

Gnarly Trees at Fort Fisher |
Comment

TFS has gone home for Thanksgiving, so I'm left to my own devices to wander about.
The Fort Fisher site is southward down the road from the beach house. All that's left on the site are large earthen mounds and these wind-blown trees on the eastern side.

Boat Parking in Southport |

| What to do with your boat when you aren't using it, don't want to pay for a marina berth, and don't want to take it home with you? You park it, on multi-level racks outside or inside. |
