for our last hurrah before summer vacation is officially over, we went on a short one-night roadtrip to wilmington, NC, a small city on the east coast of north carolina.
we arrived in the afternoon and it was pretty hot and humid, so we quickly needed a break. we found this grocery store where we had some homemade strawberry icecream.
dinner at dock st. oyster bar. we had fresh steamed oysters and i had a crab macaroni and cheese, yum!
after dinner, we walked back to the hotel along the riverwalk.
the next morning, we explored a bit more among the nearby shops at the cotton exchange.
historic buildings
and then we drove over to wrightsville beach for lunch (See next blog post!).
