Weekend in Wilmington!

For our 2nd Anniversary, we went to Wilmington, NC... for beach time, camping time, historical sights, eating at unique restaurants, and a fancy garden... The trip was phenomenal and we connected on many levels since our wedding two years ago. We love each other!



A mansion in historic Wilmington aka, Shelley's new bed and breakfast ;)

An amazingly huge tree at Airlie Gardens.  It is an oak tree estimated to be 400 or more years old!   Yes, thats Dan, really tiny under in the shade of the tree.


A pretty statue in the garden that reminded Jenny of Alice Paul from 1920, fighting for women's votes!

A bee at Airlie garden in the butterfly garden... we saw no butterflies but plenty of bees!

We did not get to go the USS North Carolina and this is Dan longingly admiring it.  We will go next time!

At the BEACH! It was super super windy and actually started raining on us as we were laying out in the sun reading... so we left!  But, we did stop at Fort Fisher Civil War Museum and enjoyed some NC history in the War Between the States!  

Our little KOA Cabin!!  It was inexpensive, cozy and perfect! We woke up to torrential downpour and slept a good 11 hours!

Our Anniversary Dinner at the Little Dipper, a wonderful fondue restaurant!  This was dessert, a dark chocolate and peanut butter blend with sensational dippers!

Our waiter even gave us a free cheesecake and put a cute little sign up that said, "Happy Two Years!" We were so unbelievably full after this 2 hour meal... it was ridiculous!
