North Carolina in the summer

Every year we go to the beach in North Carolina, and this year was no exception. The weather was hot but pleasant, and the expansive beaches were beautiful and relaxing. I love the sound of the ocean. And this particular beach has a sea turtle conservancy that offers nightly seminars and "turtle walks." You get to learn about the types of sea turtles, which ones lay their eggs in the North Carolina sand, and if you're lucky, you get to see one in action. This year we were not that lucky, but the evening excursion with the conservancy was full of information—and anticipation! Maybe next year...
