Swansboro Flotilla 2009 Nov 21

In years past I watched it go by from the wildlife ramp in Cedar Point. No matter where you view it from, it is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. UPDATE: FLotilla has been postponed until November 28th, 2009 due to the high winds.

Beach time is right around the corner. One of the best ways to get in shape that I know of is running. Last year I trained a little bit for the first Crystal Coast Half Marathon.
