Hi Everyone,

Really enjoyed our (10) day Thanksgiving week trip to Blue Mtn. Beach. Thanksgiving Holiday Buffet @ Baytowne Center (Magnolia Ballroom) was wonderful. I would go there again next year. Had a few cooler temp. days, but it was in the low 70's when we left. Sun was out everyday and welcomed by this Michigan guy. We walked the beach and enjoyed every day.

Now for my observations while visiting 30-A.

30-A is a special place. I just wish I knew about it sooner. We enjoy visiting this time of year with smaller crowds. The area is growing and everywhere you look a new development is in progress. I wonder what it will look like in (10) years?? Our favorite resturant was "Fish out of Water" for lunch. Can't wait to come back in April 2007 for our next visit.

We looked at future real estate property purchases (vacant land). Property values may be down, but it will only last a short period. The area will never be cheaper. The people asking ridiculous prices think they are living in the hot market a few years ago. They will never sell untill they adjust pricing to the current market. Buyer's today are looking for value and will pay a fair price. When I hear comments like the "sky is falling" it's from the poor guy who bought at the market high. Oh, in my opinion anything south of Hwy.30-A is prime stuff. Looks to me like a lot of people will get burned with overpriced property.

I'll post a few pictures of our visit when I get them off my camera. Enjoyed going down to the beach with my cup of hot tea & watching the sun come up over the water. Interesting rays over the sand. Didn't see many people out this early except a few taking the dog out for a morning walk.
