We recently visited the beaches along the North Caroline shoreline. The only problem - it was early April and the warm weather we anticipated did not respond to the invitation.

But that did not stop us from walking the beaches anyway. They certainly weren't crowded!!

We also enjoyed watching some turtles and an alligator sunning themselves next to the condo we were staying at.

Here were some of the awesome scenes we treasured.
