April 15, 2025: The Real Treasure

The answer came to me instantly.

Today in a meeting, a colleague asked an icebreaker question: “What are you most looking forward to this summer?”

Around the table came amazing answers: Aruba, New Zealand, a pilot’s license, opening a café. Grand adventures and big dreams.

Then, my turn. Mine wasn't the most glamorous, but I wouldn’t trade it for all the others combined.

My reply: “I want to go to Oak Island with my family.”

Oak Island, NC has been our go-to getaway for years. Tucked away at the quiet, southern tip of the Carolina coast, it holds precious memories. Especially from when the kids were small.

And each night there, we always make it a priority to watch shooting stars from the deck of the beach house.

A vacation tradition.

OKI... hopefully I’ll see you one day soon.
