Wilmington

My parents bought a retirement home in Wilmington, NC this fall!  The kids and I took a little road trip to the coast this week.  We had the best time spending time with Grandma Mary, Papa D, Abigail, Lana, and Charles.  Lana and I took the kids to the Children's Museum.  The kids broke in all the fun toys Grandma Mary has been gathering while Anna and I got familiar with the surrounding neighborhood by foot.  Max and Kate were introduced to Grandma Mary's green Christmas Tree cookies (a family favorite). We spent a day downtown Wilmington, enjoying the boardwalk along the Cape Fear River, an art studio that Charles' cousin owns and manages, the cotton exchange, a trolley ride, and lunch dockside.  The kids curled up with Aunt Abigail on the couch and enjoyed Happy Feet. I think the surprising highlight was the day at the beach.  Thanks to Lana and Charles the kids got right into the FREEZING water and loved every minute! 









It was a spectacular way to extend our visit with the grandparents, Abigail, Lana and Charles.
