Tour of NC: Wilmington
Day 3: We had a sweet morning with Oma and Opa in Asheboro and then headed out around noon to drive to Wilmington.
The weather was perfect and the drive was nice and easy. The only sadness was that we didn’t feel comfortable driving the big camper around Seagrove so Melanie unfortunately couldn’t check out the pottery like she wanted. We will have to try a trip without the camper one of these days.
Once we got to Wilmington we unhooked the camper at the nice KOA and then immediately went to the Riverwalk where we met Cyndi and Charles for dinner at Anne Bonnys Bar and Grill followed by ice cream for Liam and a sweet walk by the river. It was such a treat to get to spend time with family and we had a wonderful time.
Day 4: we bought sushi for dinner last night before we knew we would meet up with family, so we started our day with the traditional breakfast of champions: sushi and coffee! 🙃🤷♀️
We loved our time with Paul and Lindsay at Ogden Tap Room and were grateful that they put us in an airconditioned room despite us having a dog with us. It has been HOT!
After lunch we visited with Kate in her treehouse and later had a great dinner with Kate and RH at Wrightsville Beach Brewery. We got settled back in to the Airstream just before some huge storms rolled in.
Day 5: Another awesome day! We met Alex and Shanna for lunch at Flaming Amy’s Burrito Barn, from there James, Liam, and Alex went to tour the Battleship while Melanie, Shanna, Kate, RH, and Mojo hung out at Flying Machine Brewing Company for a few hours. Slushee beers in a rainstorm with friends is one of the best ways to spend a day!
After we all reconvened we went to Boombalatti’s for ice cream and then said goodbye to Alex and Shanna who were returning to Raleigh.
From there, the Clayton crew met back up with Kate and RH at Wilmington Brewing where we had the absolute yummiest burgers from Grimm Burgers food truck.
After dinner we all went back to RH’s place to check out his amazing slot car track and play some pinball.
Just a perfect day with wonderful people and we feel so very lucky to have such great humans in our lives.
