In just a few weeks, Nick and I will be flying south to visit my grandparents in Wilmington, North Carolina. Or as I call it, my very own Heaven on Earth.
To some, Wilmington & Wrightsville Beach is too simple. The life is too slow. Living is, well, too easy. To others, its just perfect. It's just enough to make you appreciative of the good life but the people are interesting enough that you won't go crazy.
Wilmington is a gem, a secret, a treasure. Hardly anyone knows about it (thanks Nicholas Sparks for starting this new craze of tourism there...*sarcasm*) due in large part to its location. You may recall the TV show, Dawson's Creek which was the first popular show to be filmed on location there. Now, One Tree Hill episodes are still being shot there, giving many people the itch to visit the area.
My visits in the past have all been wonderful. But this trip will be even more special.
Nick has never been to this part of North Carolina before and I could not be more excited to show him what makes Wilmington so magical for me. As corny as that may sound, its so true. I can't wait to show all of you the pictures when we get back. So cross your fingers that May flies by as fast as the other months have so far! I've been sending Mother Nature some hate mail in order to bribe her for some sunshine in my little corner of the Earth. It's about time that we get some warm summer weather and a chance to wear all of those sundresses we spent so much money on:o)
Hope you're all having a wonderful Wednesday!
Wilmington is just lovely - I've only been a handful of times, but I agree with you about it being a hidden gem.
