Wilmington Day Six- The last day!

Valentine's Day was our last day in NC. Since we had been there for 5 days already, and seen so much, we decided to just spend the day downtown. 

And I finally got to see the bridge from One Tree Hill!




We spent our romantic evening at The Oceanic, a gorgeous restaurant that overlooks the ocean. It is located right on Wrightsville Beach. Check our the website- they have a live feed of the beach!





Then, very early in the morning, we started the journey home. Bye Wilmington, you cute little place you.

Thanks for suffering through all of my photos! I feel like that old aunt that makes you sit there and watch her old slide shows for hours on end. You can breathe a sigh of relief now! Back to our regularly scheduled blogging!

Wilmington Day Four

We spend a good part of our day, Sunday, touring the Battleship North Carolina. This thing is seriously huge. We were in there for probably 3 1/2 hours and that included us rushing it towards the end because we were starving. 

The tour was all self guided, so you could go at your own pace, which I liked. You start on the deck and work your way down. And when I say down, I mean down through the kitchens, sleeping quarters, engines, guns/ammo rooms, bathrooms. Everything. That thing is HUGE.

After the tour, we ate some delicious New York style pizza, went to a local record store, and then had a cute little date night.

Wilmington Day Three

Saturday February 11th, Tom woke me up early and told me to get dressed so that we could head down to the beach and try to watch the sunrise. So we were dressed in our pj's and out the door by 6:30. 

We got to the beach right as the sky was beginning to lighten, but due to the clouds we never got to see the sun come up. We began walking and talking and I decided I wanted to snap a picture of us, so I propped up my camera on my purse, set the timer, and ran over to Tom. As I'm standing there, he gets down on one knee and says "Babe, will you marry me?"

No this following picture is not staged. Haha. It cracks me up.

The camera caught us right as he was beginning to bend down, and my face is priceless.

I had no idea that he was planning this. A ton of my friends were suspicious when I told them how he organized this whole trip, but for some reason I wasn't. I was shocked. 

The rest of the day was spent taking pictures of my ring. There were tons of phone calls. And texts. 

We did some thrifting. We did some eating. And we just spent the day being super happy.

Wilmington Day Two

Hello there, lovelies! I'm back with another riveting chapter in our Wilmington Chronicles! What will happen next? Will those crazy kids ever get serious?  Read on to find out!
(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!

xo!
