My husband, the beach, and hollywood of the east!
Andy have not spent a whole weekend together in months, and after being apart for two weeks, we were so excited to get away this last weekend! We left Saturday morning to Wilmington and Carolina Beach, NC. The drive was not bad at all, and it happened to be the Azalea festival in Wilmington! We went to Carolina Beach and stayed in an ocean-view room! It was so nice. It was pretty windy at the beach, but still awesome to be by the ocean. We watched the sunrise from our bed in our room Sunday morning! It was amazing :) We really enjoyed Carolina Beach, but were anxious to see all the places that has given Wilmington the nickname of "Wilmiwood." So we went and hung out at the festival, walked around downtown and the riverfront of Cape Fear River, drove by some of the One Tree Hill sights, ate, and went on the Wilmington Hollywood tour. The Hollywood tour was fun, we had already scoped out most of the One Tree Hill stuff, but it was fun to hear stories behind the screen and see how much had really been done there! Over 300 movies and 400 tv series have been filmed in the Wilmington area. Here are a few pictures of our weekend trip :) We had a blast, and of course wish it could have lasted much longer!
This is the view from our hotel room in Carolina Beach!
