What's nice about full timing? Staying in a area where you can walk on the beach on a sunny Saturday afternoon in mid November. It was beautiful yesterday, light wind and perfect temperature. Yesterday, seemed like a great day to go and do a few things, namely grocery shopping as the galley was getting a bit low. Before going we thought a walk on the beach would be nice, so in my usual way I plugged in Wrightsville Beach into my GPS. Two popped up so we took the closest. A drive down several roads with little traffic was great (there is a lot of traffic in Wilmington). As we came upon a beautiful entrance I'm thinking we have to pay. Hmm, turns out we were trying to get on Figure 8 Island. Yes, its Wrightsville Beach, but the exclusive, private island you've got to own a home on, and a part of Wrightsville Beach we weren't getting access too. A polite armed guard told us to turn around and follow his directions to the public area :)
Words of wisdom, use the Wrightsville beach on Beach Rd when you want to go to the beach using your Garmin! Or better yet, just follow those big green signs above the road that say...Wrightsville Beach :)
What's the same as everywhere else? A packed grocery store on Saturday afternoon.
