The Carolina Beach is located in Wilmington, North Carolina. Driving in and around the beach area reminded me of where my sister and mother live in Panama City Beach, FL. The beach was beautiful. We went to two different beaches. Both of which we paid a fee so we could legally drive on the beach. Jason has a Lincoln Navigator the handled well in the sand. We each took turns driving. I had never driven in deep sand like that before. It reminded me of driving in heavy snow. There is one obvious difference between the two. If you take your foot of the accelerator or hit the brakes.....you stop immediately in the sand! It was an overcast day, so the temperature was great. Not too hot, but even though I hid under an umbrella the whole time, I still managed to get sunburned. We relaxed and took naps. Went into the surf. Barbequed some chicken, brats, pork and hotdogs....we weren't hungry on the ride home. All in all a spectacular day. I would highly recommend a day at the beach to relax, to anyone that is within a two hour drive of one.
I will start driving again this evening around 6:00PM. We have around 300 miles to cover by 3:00AM tomorrow. We should make it with a couple of hours to spare. I will write more about Virginia City Beach after we get there. That's all for now,,,,,
