wilmington, nc

 

we have been in town for a couple days and have explored several areas in the wilmington:  wrightsville beach - small and expensive, but stylish and very "surf" oriented.  carolina/kure beaches - or pleasure island, more modest and has a good feel.  the above pictures are of the "the cove" which is the surf spot on the southern tip of pleasure island, located by fort fisher. 

today we walked around the downtown wilmington area, the picture above is from the river walk a mile long boardwalk along the banks of the river with beacoup restaurants and shops.  unlike delaware, wilmington north carolina seems fun and lots of live music - we are going to test out the nightlife halloween night
