I know I'm on vacation but I've really missed blogging and this little space, even though its only been a few days. Tonight I'm taking it easy so it seemed like the perfect time to do a post about what I've been up to this far. Vacation has been very go go go so far which is nice but I also enjoy the time to just sit and relax. I actually started out my trip with that terrible cold Michael was sick with. I'm definitely feeling much better but it's still lingering a bit. I got down Sunday afternoon and got settled in at my sisters then we decided to head over to Southport for a late lunch/early dinner at Provision Company. If you're ever in Southport definitely check that place out, it is SO good. After eating we came back to Wilmington and she took me around Wilmington to see the beaches. That night we went over to Buffalo Wild Wings where Jackie works to grab a beer and watch the Panthers football game. We came home around 10ish because I was exhausted and my sister had work on Monday.
Monday I slept in which was much needed and then headed over to Jackie's and she took me around Wilmington again and then we ran some errands to get ready for dinner that night. Her fiance is a chef and was making myself, my sister, Jackie and her two friends dinner that night. It was delicious and I hate I didn't get a picture of how good it all looked. He made us crab stuffed flounder that he caught fresh, boiled shrimp, corn on the cob and homemade mashed potatoes. After dinner we all just hung out then Eren and I headed back to her apartment.
Tuesday...you guessed it I slept in again. Jackie came over and we wet to get lunch at the Trolley Stop so we could go eat with my sister. I got a delicious hotdog and definitely recommend going there if you're in town. My sister works for the police department in Wilmington so she gave J and I a tour of her work and we got to meet some of her co-workers. After lunch J and I headed downtown to walk around and do some shopping. I found the cutest cupcake shop downtown that I cannot wait to go back to and get some cupcakes to try. Overall I think my favorite part of downtown is that so many stores carried clothing related to One Tree Hill. I am a HUGE OTH fan and obsessed over it all. There is a small chance I may be able to meet one of the characters this week and I'm keeping my fingers crossed it actually comes through! J had to work so I came home and cooked dinner with my sister and then we went out and did some shopping and ended the night with krispy kreme doughnuts!
Today I really wanted to go swimming so Jackie took me down to her fiance's families property on the sound (where she'll be getting married!) Unfortunately as soon as we got there it started to rain but once it lightened up we got to swim for a bit. I hate that the sun never came out so we're going to head back out tomorrow and hope it's sunny so we can take the kayaks out. After swimming we hit up Target and I got some great deals on some clothes that I'll be able to wear for my part time job that I got, we have to wear all black uniforms so I wanted to get a few more shirts and pants. I'm glad I get to take it easy tonight because I really want to to soak up my last days of vacation and enjoy it.
Now that I've rambled on, here is a picture dump of what I've been up to so far. Hope everyone is having a good week!
