better than good

Not even a Willis Gupton sing-a-long could make today any better.  The beach was utter perfection:  not too hot, gorgeous blue water, spiffy waves with enough punch to bodysurf, not a greenhead in site.  Oh, and did I mention I have the entire day off?! 

Three cheers for Ocracoke in July and birdsong and sunshine and taking a vacation from work, even just for the day.  First, a drowsy afternoon and then . . . back to the beach, a glass of crisp white wine from Zillie's and fresh cold figs and cheese for dinner.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
