Fall Color

And, no, this is not St. Augustine. Terry and I managed to snatch a couple of days to enjoy the fall color in North Carolina. We had anticipated that the weather would be much cooler than here in St. Augustine and were very surprised to discover that the daytime temperatures reached 80 degrees. Of course, the evening temperatures were in the high 40's which made for brisk mornings. We did a half day hike off the Blueridge Parkway on a trail known as Sims Pond. Just a couple of lovely days in the Carolinas.

Angry Atlantic

Our first Noreaster in a long time arrived late yesterday churning up the Atlantic with white caps as far as the eye could see. Today, the sun came out and the wind whipped up. A few brave souls ventured to the beach being mindful of using enough sun screen and finding a way to keep the sand out of their eyes. Surfing is not considered to be good when the waves are coming into shore as they were today--better when they roll away from the beach. This picture was taken from behind the dunes at the Mary Street beach drive on.

Birthday Celebration

Had a wonderful afternoon celebrating our youngest granddaughter's second birthday! Terry and I picked up grandson Luke from after school care and spirited all of us to Orange Park and Chucky Cheeses. Imagine a room full of children, teens and adults all hustling to put tokens in machines that make NOISE!! These ears loved every minute of the chaos and melee but after two hours we were all ready to call it quits and head back to St. Augustine. A wonderful way to celebrate Miss Audrianna's second birthday.

Great Golf

Carolina blue skies coupled with temperatures in the mid 70's made for a fantastic day of golf. The 18 hole private Beech Mountain Club course was designed by Willard-Byrd in the late 60's and has been both maintained and improved over the years. The vistas from each tee or green of this challenging course are truly extrodinary. Another great reason to enjoy Beech Mountain, North Carolina.

Elevation 5500'

Greetings from Beech Mountain, North Carolina. It was 48 degrees last night and we had a fire in the fireplace! Todays high is projected to be 73 degrees. Floridians flock to this part of the Carolinas in the summer to take advantage of the average summer temperature of 72 degrees and to enjoy hiking, rafting, fly fishing, tennis and golf. In the winter southerners come to Ski Beech--the highest ski resort in the east with terrain that will challenge most skiers and snowboarders.
