We saw a beautiful sunset on our first night in town. This is near our hotel in Downtown Wilmington, which was next to the Cape Fear River. (Side note: do you remember that scary movie, Cape Fear? Whenever I hear the name of the river, I think of that creepy guy under the car.)
Back to the pretty sunset. =) See the U.S.S. North Carolina reflecting the sunset on the left side of this next picture?
The next day was my actual birthday and we spent the morning at the beach. Check out our photos from Wrighstville Beach here, but for now here are a few from my afternoon wanderings around Downtown Wilmington.
During Little Sweets' naptime, my Sweets (who is definitely a WonderDad, by the way) offered to stay at the hotel so I could have some relaxing time to myself. Is it sad that I was really excited to have some alone time on my birthday? I'm sure most moms can understand that. =)
While I was strolling, the skies opened and there was a huge thunderstorm, so these pictures made the town look very dreamy. For those of you who have never been to the Southern United States, it stays very warm on rainy days (it was over 90 degrees Fahrenheit). It was so humid that my camera lens kept fogging up.
I'll leave you with one more glimpse at the Battleship North Carolina. Pictures from the beach are coming soon!
Happy Belated Birthday! It looks like it was a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday!! It looks like you had an awesome and relaxing time. I am a mom to 2 under 3 and I love having some alone time too. It is nice to be able to take a walk sometimes without someone crying, yelling, or screaming MaMa:)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos...thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to wanting some alone time as a mom :) That was my husbands gift to me as well last weekend for my birthday! I love all of your photos of this little town. We are going to Colorado next week and I am excited for all the photo opportunities on my daughter's first road trip.
