HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH!



Wilmington, NC



Wilmington, NC



Today we drove through Wilmington stopping at the cotton market and walking the river front. We took another trolley ride to experience the city via a tour guide that knows the area. The history of this area started in the 1600 and many of the homes date from the 1700 and 1800s. There is a lot of Civil War history in this area and I think we will revisit this area when we have more time.

We then drove to the Wrightsville Beach which is beautiful. There were a lot of people enjoying the ocean during this heat wave. On return to the marina everyone got into the pool and cooled down before dinner. Tonight dinner will be leftovers from the restaurant last night.
