(Wow, Katie..Wow.)
We started our second day off with some great coffee and waffles at a local diner. Then, I just had to walk along that darn river walk again, so we perused the river/boats/scenery for the morning. And we saw dolphins in the river swimming! Lil cuties..
After all of our walking and talking and dolphin watching, we decided to go to the beach. Wrightsville Beach is only a 15-20 minute drive from Wilmington, and it's so pretty there. This was only Tom's second time seeing the ocean, so it was extra special.
We went and did a little shopping in the Wrightsville area, but due to it being the "off season" not too many places were open, like Rita's. I was sooo looking forward to Rita's. Darn this weather!
We had the yummiest little dinner at The Riverboat Landing. This restaurant was featured in the movie Dream a Little Dream, one of my favorite films as a kid. It is much more fun to eat there when it's warm because they have these little balconies you can eat on that overlook the river. Pretty romantic, huh?

Tom and I are in the process of cleaning our room and putting our new headboard together. I snuck down here to blog and I can hear him yelling my name. Oops. Better go!
