Days 22-26:

Emerald Isle, NC is one of several small beach communities on a barrier island named Bogue Banks. It is situated in such a manner that the sun rises and sets over the ocean. This makes for great photo opportunities two times a day.

Ben and I enjoy researching our family's heritage and together we often make great discoveries. This visit was no different. We found several lines in Georgia previously unknown. All these are pieces of a bigger puzzle that is slowly coming together.

Joyce and I relaxed the entire time and were sad to have to leave. Thanks, Ben, for such an enjoyable visit. Even though it rained several days, the entire time (5 days) was like a month in a spa. Close to total relaxation.

We are leaving tomorrow for a couple of days in Maryland. This short trip will be to replenish our medications, cut some grass, and pay the monthly bills. We decided to extend our stay in Savannah and then move on to King’s Bay for a week or so. We’ll leave our trailer there and head back to Maryland on Nov 17^th (plans always subject to change).
