Memories
a life at ocean creek
Charlie Brown • Burlington, NC
I have been to OC every year since I think '83 (not sure when it openned). Started with my parents as they were squaredancing (really), and took me and friends. "How strange are my parents!!" I thought. There was no "barefoot landing," no Cracker barrel - just swamp! Kept going through high school and college - through marriage 16 years ago, through three children. Used to go on bike week, as that was same time as my anniversary! My children don't think it's "vacation" until we see the fountain and pass the guard house and the tennis courts. I remember playing with friends and brother in the in-door pool when I was 14 - now my daughter is 14, playing in the same pool. It is a safe, quiet place with a wonderous beach. It is vacation for us. Now - from my kids - "how strange our parents are!" The attached picture is right in front of the beach access. See you soon, oc.
