Road Trip, Pinehurst, Palm Coast, then Naples via Stuart

First stop Pinehurst NC
 A visit with Steve and Lynne Frazier. Golf, barbecue, tour around town and learning about gadgets - wine glass dryer, aroma essence, etc.  Dave says "It's always expensive to visit!"

On to Palm Coast, Florida to visit the Hershocks at Hammock Beach

Take sand to get out!

Bob and Pat at "Blue" a delicious seafood restaurant in a motel on AIA
 Next stop Stuart, Florida where Susan's grandparents retired and Susan took a tour of the past.  
Lunch with our friends Skip and Marianne Lange, and daughter Kate.  Skip was a friend and colleague in PA. They now live in the Port St Lucie Yacht and Country Club
That's where Inlet Watch used to be.  Susan's maternal grandparents Jack and Jessie Perkins lived there. 
It looks different.  The neighborhood has large water-view homes.

Arbor Trace, home of Bob O
Bob O:  "I noticed two wires bound around the trunk strangling this tree on my left.  Gina (activities director) and I saved the tree by cutting the wires.  It's thriving."
Afternoon swim
