| Shell Island Resort |
I finally got in a quick trip to the beach. My younger son and I spent three days down at Wrightsville Beach at the Shell Island Resort which is at the far northern end of the beach. It's a beautiful place, and the beach is not too crowded, or at least one can wander down to the far end for a bit of privacy.

I spent most of the time catching up on my reading. I'm currently reading the new John Dean about Watergate. In the early evening, I walked on the beach after the sun was low in the sky.

| Sea oats are important in maintaining the dunes. And they are lovely on a late afternoon walk. |
One evening a young man was kite surfing near us on the beach, and at one point the kite passed directly over me. That looks like a lot of fun----if only I were younger.

Dining out is one of my favorite pastimes while at the beach. We managed to have a number of really good seafood dinners.

| Delicious she-crap soup and a nice salad. |
On our last evening there, the sunset over the marshes was spectacular.

I'm ready to go back to Shell Island and Wrightsville Beach.
