Wilmington, North Carolina
In a few days we will be off to visit with our friends & see a part of their world!
Wilmington, N.C. is our destination. http://www.cape-fear.nc.us/ ...........and a must see  is the Cape Fear River, a movie by the same name was filmed there not once, but twice. We've seen both movies, and both were just as scary! Cape Fear, the movie ~ 1962 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055824/ Cape Fear, the movie:~ 1991 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101540/ Cape Fear River, Lock & Dam 202 mi (325 km) long, formed in E central N.C. by the junction of the Deep and Haw rivers, and flowing southeast to enter the Atlantic Ocean S of Wilmington and N of Cape Fear; longest river entirely within North Carolina. Dams and locks make the river navigable to Fayetteville, but its valley is especially prone to flooding, as happened after Hurricane Floyd (1999).  Battleship Museum  Historice B&B Inns  http://www.bbonline.com/nc/wilmington/ Greystone Inn  Wilmington Waterfront  Rental Beach House . Flight over historic Wilmington North Carolina, September 26, 1998

Blaze - have fun!!
It's been YEARS since we've been to Wilmington - make sure you take time to see the Battleship .. and the program they have at night - just make sure to take skeeter spray. It's lovely down there! We usually went more up the coast to Emerald Isle when we lived in Raleigh - but Wilmington was fun to visit too! Michael Jordon went to high school there ... And years and years ago there used to be a shop that was very popular in the Southeast called Dorothy's Ruffled Originial Curtains. The main shop and factory was in Wilmington - I worked for them for about a year ... (at the shop in Raleigh) it was AMAZING how much fabric was in those curtains...  |

My husband's company owns a beach house on Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington, and we've visited there several times. I've always been impressed by how clean and friendly Wrightsville Beach is. However, in recent days I have seen several warnings about rip currents off Wrightsville Beach and other beaches in that area, so beware!

Looks like a fun place to visit. I noticed that the beach doesn't have many high rises. That is very unusual these days. Be sure to give us a review when you get back. Have Fun!
