Dane is on Fall Break aka "Fall Reading Period" at Duke Div. He has been super busy with midterms and needed a break. Thursday night after work he surprised me by saying, "guess what, we are going to the beach tomorrow!" He had to tell me on Thursday so that I could pack my bags Thursday night and leave from work Friday. This was a celebration of his break and an early birthday present for me. Living in a coastal state has its perks! We have some wonderful gracious friends who offered to let us stay in their home for the weekend.
Saturday morning we had an awesome breakfast at Salt Works II in Wilmington. Then we set out to explore. This was our first time to explore the city of Wilmington. We always drive right through Wilmington and head to Wrightsville Beach. This time we took our time and enjoyed the historic city.
I bought two pair of cute earrings for $7 each on the boardwalk. I bought them at Polka Dot Flamingo. Super cute store. We spent some time walking around the old homes from the 1800s and stopping in gift shops.
We headed to the beach around 2pm. The weather was perfect. 70 and sunny!!
We brought a giant blanket and took a nap under the sun listening to the waves.
Love this man.
We headed back to Wilmington for dinner.
Our parking meter was made in Russellville! We are never really far from home.
Dinner at Pilot House Restaurant. There were 2 wedding receptions on the boardwalk last night.
Great birthday dinner! I had crab cakes and Dane had Louisiana style shrimp pasta. Yum!
We had a great weekend! Thanks to my sweet husband for planning such an excellent surprise!!
Next weekend we are headed to Nashville to spend time with my sister and my parents. We are looking forward to family time. :)
