Wilmington, NC

I’m so sorry for not writing sooner. We made it to Jason Torrez, and I just got busy! We have been reuniting with Jason, and he has been showing us around. North Carolina is a really beautiful place! Yesterday we went to the beach!

We stayed up so late we got to see the sunset!

It was spectacular!

They have a real interesting sense of humor around here.

We took advantage of it!

That’s our son Jason!

We had a great time at the beach.

We’ve seen a bunch of gulls all along our trip, but these were new to us. They are Laughing Gulls. Their quite attractive with their black heads and brilliant white bodies.

This is Jason with his girlfriend Sarah.

And here we are with our backs to the Atlantic!

    How fun!! The beach on the Atlantic coast, that’s cool, (in many ways, since you’ve had so much heat!). I didn’t remember that you both had sons named Jason, so nice to get to spend time with them. Love all the pictures, especially the one with the alligator! Or is it a croc??

    1. Jason said he thought it’s an alligator. Yes, we are loving spending time with Jason. We haven’t seen him in a long time! Hope you are having fun with your new grandbaby.

    Oh my!!! Jason isn’t a little boy anymore. 😂

    What a blessing to be able to see your son. I’m so glad that all of mine live in California. At least for now..
