What a pretty day to be out and about downtown Wilmington!

Christina and Will on the Riverwalk

Downtown Wilmington is so much fun. It is an historic port on the Cape Fear River with lots of fun things to do and see. We went to a glass blowing studio and watched the glass blowers make a glass pumpkin, it was really neat. Then we walked down the Riverwalk which is right on the Cape Fear River and enjoyed the views. We also took a quick little boat ride up and down the Wilmington river front to check out the water and the views of downtown from the water, it was so nice! We were all tired after that and went home to relax!

Lifeguard Patrol!

At Carolina Beach, another great beach in North Carolina, we happened upon some unoccupied lifeguard stands... So naturally, we decided to climb them! While some of us had more of a climb than others... we all felt like life savers!

Another Beautiful Day

Pier at Wrightsville Beach

When Dad was here we visited Wrightsville Beach. It is so nice this time of year because the weather is perfect and the beach is empty. We spent a few hours just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful day. It is so peaceful on the beach, watching the ocean with a cool breeze and the warm sun, it melts away all your cares. McKinley and I have been trying to go once a week to enjoy Autumn before the weather turns too cold.

Everyone was on the porch enjoying the night, watching Dad grill up some steaks!

Bedtime... After a refreshing bath, we love bath time!

Cracker Barrel

After picking up Dad from the airport, we stopped at the Cracker Barrel in Myrtle Beach for some breakfast! It was a great break before the ride back to Wilmington.

Enjoying the rocking chairs!

A Jersey Visit

The end of October, we had a very special visitor... Dad! Or Grandpa V or Lou Lou or ?!

As it was the second time my Dad has gotten to spend time with his Grandson, McKinley, it was only appropriate that he spent an entire week with us to bond in his own special way!

Christina was able to spend a few days with us as well. It was really nice having her there and us all together!

I'm not sure if McKinley understands you Dad.

It didn't keep him from talking to him continuously though!

I must admit, we were very spoiled. We had "Bobby Flay" at the grill almost every night making delicious and very large meals! Also, we got a new grill, which we absolutely love! Thanks Dad!

** Waiting on more pictures so, don't worry, this is only a beginning of the post for this visit!**

Jack O Lanterns

We created some amazing Jack O'Lanterns for Halloween this year! Check them out! McKinley did all the work of course, he's such a go-getter! :o)

Pulling Up

Hi! Its me again! I am now also pulling up and kinda standing like a big boy! Toys are so much better on this side, why didn't Mommy tell me??

Creepy Crawly

Hello Everyone! I am on the go! Can't catch me! Heading for the cat food, because that's where the cat hangs out, and the computer because I want to bang on it!!! Mid-October I figured out how to use my arms and legs in my favor! Daddy eat my dust!
