Wilmington Sunday

Along the river walk

USS North Carolina

With Doug having only a few weekends off last year, we are really enjoying his weekends this year.  He works about one per month, which is such a luxury compared to last year.  Last weekend we took a Sunday day-trip down to the beach enjoying lunch in Carolina Beach and a walk along the beach and pier.  It was a beautiful fall day, 68 degrees and sunny.  Then for our afternoon,  we walked through historic Wilmington, finally grabbing dinner at a great French restaurant Caprice Bistro before heading home.  

Took this pic for my dad.  Interstate 40 runs the entire length of the country.  My dad had driven out to California & back to visit my brother on Hwy 40 - ending in Barstow, CA.  When dad came to visit us, he drove again on Hwy 40 the whole way to Durham.  We took a trip to Wilmington so he could say he traveled the entire length of road - 2554 miles.  We tried to take this picture on that day, but it didn't turn out.  This time - it was a keeper.
