Today Thursday August 7, 2008, in Wilmington North Carolina, while doing some prospecting  for our upcoming "Open Houses" this weekend, I happened to "catch a wave"  Let me explain.....

It is hot today....about 90 degrees, sunny, and beautiful...similar to many summer days in this part of the country.  I love this area!  It has been twelve years in my new adopted home, and I wished we had moved here years ago.  Coming from Saratoga, New York, it was not hard to appreciate what this great area has to offer.   GREAT WEATHER, BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, AND THIS......

Most of the 30,000 or so "beach people" that come to Wrightsville on any given day, increase the town's population by twenty thousand or so.  This is not your typical beach town.  The actual town is a five mile strip of pristine sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.  There are no gaudy circus rides or atmosphere, no arcades, no high-rise hotels, and nothing to spoil a beautiful summer day.

Sometimes a person just needs to get out and away....and after seeing some of the sites on Wrightsville Beach today, this looks like a splendid idea (thanks to that beach cam).  There is something always going on "at the beach" nothing stops, always movement, waves continue to meet the sand, constant, never stopping.  A great place to think, plan, or contemplate....or just to watch the "beach people"  See 'ya later, I'm off to the beach!
