We FINALLY made it away for a short family vacation. After driving to Wilmington Friday afternoon, we had dinner at a recommended local place, Poe's Tavern, and then drove to walk the beach a little before bedtime.
We were up earlyish the next morning to browse the farmer's market, and then drove to the beach for the day. It was a gorgeous day of fun in the sun and sand.
We heard thunder late in the afternoon, so we packed things up and headed back to the condo. As we were driving back, the rain started, which made traffic crazy, but we eventually made it back and showered to walk to dinner. There was a small wait, so we enjoyed (okay, sweated it out) walking on the Riverfront. One of the main reasons we picked Wilmington was that the TV series we just finished watching with the kids was filmed there. It took us about a year and a half to watch all of One Tree Hill, but we just finished once Savannah was home for summer. So our first tour stop was the Riverfront table that was featured in the show.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Rooster and the Crow and then headed downtown to walk and see more of the filming spots.
Downtown Wilmington was super fun to walk around on Saturday. We wrapped up the evening and then packed up on Sunday morning to leave. We spent Sunday driving around town to see more favorite show spots and took a tour of Tric, the bar that was used in the show.
Savannah had to get a picture in front of Brooke's house!
Although it was fast, it was a nice getaway and a super fun trip to enjoy as a family!
