It is hot today....about 90 degrees, sunny, and beautiful...similar to many summer days in this part of the country.  I love this area!  It has been twelve years in my new adopted home, and I wished we had moved here years ago.  Coming from Saratoga, New York, it was not hard to appreciate what this great area has to offer.   GREAT WEATHER, BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, AND THIS......                    Wrightsville Beach Web Cam Most of the 30,000 or so "beach people" that come to Wrightsville on any given day, increase the town's population by twenty thousand or so.  This is not your typical beac...
