Trip to North Carolina!!


My good friend & her family moved to Wilmington, NC - almost one year ago!!  I was excited to finally visit!!  I always have a great time with her & her family!

Wilmington is adorable!
 It's a small city (the largest NC town on the water).  It's on the Cape Fear river & very close to the open ocean :)

 After lunch & a tour of Wilmington, we headed back to my friend's home.  It is beautiful!!  I love every room & the kitchen is especially lovely.
 And look at that sun room - love it too!  Amy's husband & son went to the movies that night, and we & her daughter went shopping!
 The next day, we headed to Southport.  Quaint seaside town - where a lot of movies & tv shows have been filmed.  Currently, Sleepy Hollow is filmed in the area.  Safe Haven was the latest movie that was filmed here.

Me & Amy :)
 Southport - cute!


 We stopped at the local visitors shop.  They had information on all the shows & movies filmed in the area.  Pretty cool.

 This restaurant was also in the movie, Safe Haven.

 We ate lunch at Fishy Fishy Cafe.  Yummy!
 It was a wonderful day.  Such a treat to visit Southport.  And that evening, we watched the movie, Safe Haven.  So cool to watch the movie after having just walked the town!


The next day, Amy took me around to the local beaches.  I had to get my water fix!  And there are plenty of beaches to visit.  We went to Wrightsville




 And Topsail

 It was a lovely peaceful day!


And our final day was even more relaxing -a nice bike ride through the neighborhood, and pancakes for breakfast - Thank you!  And some more shopping.  And we took a nice walk in a park by UNCW.
 I had a great visit!  My friend, Amy, is so much fun to be with :)  And her family too!!

Hope to see you again soon!

I always get a good photo bomb of Amy!
