Gew up in DC, North Carolinian by choice. My big brother was stationed at Cherry Point when he got back from Vietnam.
He met a local girl on a blind date (whose daddy was one of the four guys who put every penny they could scrape up into buying a barren 12mile stretch of sand in the 1950s, now known as Emerald Isle. Lobbied Raleigh to get the bridge built.)
So he married her and our family started renting a shack on the island for a week every summer in the early 70s. They'll all be here in June. Fourth generation now, shack is nicer.
Our late, wonderful Mom and Dad retired here. Other brother married a girl from Beaufort. We made the move five years ago. That one blind date changed a lot of lives.
