Weekend in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach

Huge old trees strung with Spanish moss, and cool breezes off the water.

Nice swimming at a popular beach with a pier.

Adorable southern-style small shopping plaza with Port City Java.

Interesting visit, where you get to really explore a great deal of the ship.

Wonderful downtown area on the river.

Gorgeous boardwalk along the river with outdoor cafes, a juggler, and a strong cool breeze.

Large children's museum with ship with cannons, play houses, market and diner.

Walk Market Street and its side streets to see gorgeous historic mansions and churches.

Lots of things for kids to do! Historic toys too.

Fun town with nice beach, ice cream shops, and boardwalk with amusement park.

Cute town with pastel-colored beach houses and turquoise horizon.

Top notch aquarium with nice temporary exhibits too!

Gorgeous grounds to walk around. Climb stairs to the cannon and see views over the Cape Fear River and fields of wildflowers.

Cool spot on the ocean, with sea wall, and large field with monument.
