Six hours south of DC landed us at Carolina Beach, NC, just outside of Wilmington. It was wonderful to get away, relax, and recharge. The weather was breezy, high 70s/low 80s--i.e., perfect! There was a small boardwalk, little boutique shops, and a beautiful park that hosts a market on Saturdays. Steven and Julia got coffee from Majik Beanz every morning (no Starbucks anywhere). Another highlight was getting a "squigley" from Squigley's Ice Cream & Treats, which was named by the Today Show as one of the top 10 ice cream shops in America. They also tried Fun Time's soft-serve ice cream (super soft and melty) and strawberry shortcake with cheesecake ice cream (huge hit). Renting a house near the beach brought back many fond memories of our Outer Banks family vacations of long ago.
