On to Wilmington

Wilmington was only an hour drive from White Lake, so we headed over to our dear friends' Melanie and Phillip's house after the race. Josh and Molly pitched a fit about having to leave the hotel in White Lake, but they quickly forgot their distress when we arrived in Wilmington!

The kids spent several hours playing in the sprinkler and water spigots, and they sufficiently terrorized Melanie and Phillip's cats, all before bedtime. We let them go back outside in their pajamas to see the fish jumping in the canal behind Melanie and Phillip's house.

This morning we attended our church in Wilmington, which we haven't been to in five years, and had brunch with Steph and JoEllen. It was so nice to be back in our old town and see longtime friends.

Here are Molly and Jo outside the restaurant waiting for our brunch table.

Our last stop was at the Cape Fear River after driving by our old house in downtown Wilmington. The kids loved watching the boats on the river, and they were thrilled with our friend Doug arrived with his Great Dane, Sammy.

They didn't like the boat horns
