Como estan "beaches?"

Today was a long and hot, but fun day for Sam and I on Ocean Isle. We managed to reach three generations of CW fans when they least expected it. It seemed like we covered every inch of the island, from the great beaches and homey campgrounds to the friendly local businesses.

We had a great time hanging out with these families on the beach who happen to be from Cheerwine's hometown of Salisbury, NC. Not only that but all the ladies in the picture actually went to the same high school as Sam. Go figure, and...go falcons! The kids were great too. We didn't even need to ask them to pose for us, they were just naturals (I'm not so sure about the dad though).

These are some of our other new friends from today's travels. Baby Luke is a born Cheerwine fan who doesn't care at all that he gets almost as much in his mouth as he does on his body. As for the man in the picture with Sam: he’s got us both beat in experience in the soft drink business by a long shot. He did sampling just like us for part of his 43 year career at Pepsi.

That’s about all for today, but come and find Sam and I tomorrow as we drive our van, “Red,” to Sunset Beach, NC. We love the feedback that all you CW fans have been giving us so please keep writing and we’ll keep traveling.
