Not until my visit in April did I notice that the Kenan Fountain on Market Street in Wilmington, North Carolina, is graced by turtles enjoying the shower. Being there in April makes it a lot easier to slow down and look around. Cool, comfortable air sure does affect the perspective. My daughter and I love Wilmington and ogle the same things every time we are there--like the Spanish moss on the trees in the churchyard of St. Paul's. We liked the art in the windows farther down Market Street near the river, too. These flip-flops have me counting the days to June 25, when we'll be in North Carolina again.

Your posts always bring out the childhood memories for me. The summers I spend on Wilmington Beach. A very special time for me and my siblings! We loved it and looked forward to it every year.
