        That's amazing, Shanee! Try Hilton Head Island (no relationship with the "Hilton"...)  beautiful and accessible (except during hurricane warnings ;)...

              Retirement is a major step in life. To me that brings peace. Congrats on retiring 👏 🎉🥳

                  This summer I'm going to get my feet in the ocean at least once a week. I want to go swimming as much as possible too. I can't wait to spend time there with my first grandchild. He is going to love playing in the worlds biggest sandbox. Being an ocean lover and sharing that with little Jack will be an honor and hopefully a memory. The ocean has brought me so much peace and happiness over the years and hopefully he will grow to enjoy it like I have.

                    So far it has been great. We've been working on the swimming lessons. Here in NC the water is always a little to very rough so no ocean swimming for a few more years but we can still play in the sand and tidal pools do shelling and hunt ghost crabs we dont really catch them. Next year we can start fishing and crabbing.Always lots to do on the beach!

                    We went to Georgetown Maine for a week and stayed in a cottage that overlooks the harbor and lobster boats.  So beautiful and relaxing.

                      My favorite summer time activity is when my three grandkids come visit for a week and attend our United Methodist Church Vacation Bible School. They are involved in Bible School activities in the mornings, and then we get to play and have adventures in the afternoons and evenings.

                          Join a gym, or volunteer. Lots of things out there.
