  • Peaceful Places

    Even during the busy summer season, it’s possible to find a quiet place on the island.

    The inlet section of Avalon (along the jetty, or closer to the bay). Stone Harbor Point.  Kayaking in the back bay (near the marsh where it’s too shallow for boats).  An early morning beach walk (although this morning, we had to share the shoreline with a few others!)  And, the sunrise surfers/paddle boarders don’t seem to mind the lack of waves…just hanging with the dolphins!

  • Wildwood Days…

    Our annual visit to Morey’s water park and pier yesterday.

    I’m always impressed with the overall maintenance (cleanliness), and improvements by the Morey Organization.   A worthwhile day trip from Avalon or Stone Harbor.

  • Beach Day

    Family week at the beach- so I will be leaving the office in the afternoons for “appointments”.  Fortunately, when I walk down to the beach, the group is easy to find!

  • Vacations

    Random thought this morning as I walked the beach:  Do I crave vacations/travel more than most because of my environment?

    Living and working in a resort area has many benefits (see picture below)… yet I’ll admit to some jealousy as I watch people crossing Dune Drive, carrying their beach chairs, as I drive to work!

    And, then there is Twitter. A virtual suitcase…providing amazing opportunities to see the world through fellow travelers’ posts and pictures.  Twitter has also become a valuable resource for travel connections. It’s the human side of our computer focused lives.

    So as I help vacationers this summer with their rentals, I will also finalize my travel folder for our fall trip 🙂
