The rain started before we finished lunch and didn't stop until around 8pm. We tried to wait it out under a waterfront shelter but ultimately decided to retreat to our cars and explore a little that way.
There are some really beautiful streets and houses in the downtown area, and the waterfront has great restaurants and attractions. After exploring and talking to a few locals, the final verdict was that Wilmington was a little too small and seasonal for relocation, but it's a great vacation spot and college town. If living in the 'burbs or right on the beach were our criteria, it could've been a stronger contender.
It's too bad we hit Wilmington on a rainy day, but we made the best of it by hitting a pool hall for the evening!

You've chosen three places by the ocean and a mountain city. You're a girl after my own heart. Love the boardwalk photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peggy Aunt. We love the mountains and the beach, too - Mother Earth provides us with some gorgeous backdrops for living, doesn't she? :-)
ReplyDeleteI lived in Wilmington for a year, got pregnant there, hehe. Yeah, it rains more than half the year there and in the summer it's really rare for it NOT to rain every afternoon. You guys are really adventuress. I see the mountains for your next journey.
