Summer Beach Hiking
A few years ago, I starting wearing hiking shoes to walk the beach in the winter months. This evolved for practical reasons:  my feet were freezing in sneakers (see January 2012 post)
While planning ahead for a fall vacation that will involve actual warm weather hiking, I researched suitable, waterproof options.  Like my winter footwear, I knew my best choice would be substance over style!
I tested my new purchase this morning on my “beach hike”.  The shoes tackled the water’s edge, flat sand, and a few jetty rocks just fine. Now I know I’m ready for real deal come October 😉
7 Mile Beach Restaurant Week
What a great opportunity to try a few of the new (or new to you) local restaurants!
The event runs June 1st to June 10th. Most island restaurants are participating with special menus and pricing.
ANOTHER excuse not to cook 😉
Well…that was fun
Based on reports from local business people, Memorial Day weekend was a huge success. Owners and visitors filled the island, spent money in shops and restaurants, and enjoyed beautiful beach weather.
The “regulars” were back on the beach with me this morning!
Sunday Sights
Surfers enjoying the waves, and warm ocean temperatures.Â
A decent sea breeze as I walked along the water this morning. Looks like a perfect beach day.
Save me some room on the sand…looking forward to my beach time later today after work 🙂
Peaceful Locations
I enjoyed a quiet beach walk early this morning.
The reality of Memorial Day Weekend set in as I made my way to the office.Â
The hot spots? Wawa, Avalon Coffee, Kohler’s Bakery, and Comcast (the line was already around the block!)
Great weather and large crowds = happy shore business owners . Welcome summer 2012 🙂
What’s For Sale?
There are a variety of realistically priced condo/townhouse units, duplexes, and single family homes in great locations.
I have attached a list of interesting options for sale in Avalon and Stone Harbor:

Thank you for your interest and the opportunity to help!
Summer Muggies
A bit of a breeze off of the ocean…otherwise very still and HUMID! Should make for a great beach day.
A steady flow of tenants and property owners arriving on the island. Expecting a busy work weekend!







Pink Moon
Tonight is the official full moon; not sure if the weather will cooperate. Moonrise scheduled for 8:49pm (can take another 15 to 20 minutes to rise above the cloud cover along the horizon). Or, if you are up early Tuesday, the moon set over the bay will be 5:38am.
