Hiya everybody, I've lurked for years, especially in dead of winter, when hankering for some sand and sun.
Live in SW Iowa on an old farmstead, nearest neighbor about 1/4 mile away. Drive 50 miles each way to work in Omaha at a software company. Used to work in golf business, but tired of no time off to spend with kids, who are now 6 (boy), 10 & 14 (girls). Still keep my PGA membership and give golf lessons when I can.
First time in SoWal was Jan., 1993. I remember my then five month old daughter grasping sand in her little hand at Seaside. We had driven down from Atlanta, where my sister lives, for a few days. Little did we know we'd get hooked!
My wife, Cathy, loves the area as much as I and we get there when we can, mostly in November timeframe. Our first week rental was in Sunrise Beach in '96. Thereafter, we've stayed in Carillon Beach.
I promise to lurk less and post more.
Cheers,
