We’re so close to Thanksgiving, y’all! What are your holiday plans? Do you host? Go to a family member’s house? Or are you a Thanksgiving traveler? Since we just got back from Myrtle and the beach seems to be a really popular place for Thanksgiving travelers, I thought a post or two on Myrtle Beach would be perfect!
Another donut post? You bet!
This was a new event for us – I don’t remember how we stumbled across it, but we’re already excited about next year!
I love Wilmington. How could you not? It has history, the beach, and great food! It’s sad to live only an hour and a half away from such a fun city and not be able to visit often. Where do weekends go? And why are my weekends booked from now through October?
One of the worst things that comes from getting older, having a job, and relocating is that it’s hard to get together with your friends. The three of us usually get lucky enough to see each other multiple times throughout the year, but we always make sure to schedule at least one girls weekend.
This year we chose to meet up in Boone!
Earlier in July, I went to Wilmington for the first time with my two best girlfriends. We’ve been friends since college, and I love these two so much. I’m really blessed to have them both in my life.
None of us had been to Wilmington, so we were really looking forward to the trip. We booked a little apartment above the stores downtown through Airbnb. It was a convenient place to stay, but I didn’t sleep much the first night because of all the downtown/bar noise.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t on my blog game and didn’t get very many pictures. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share my food suggestions!
If you visit Wilmington, I suggest an evening stroll on the riverwalk.
The Dixie Grill – We stopped here for breakfast before heading out to the beach, and all three of us were glad we did. I honestly don’t remember what the girls got because I was too focused on my sweet potato pancakes – I didn’t even care if I had pancake belly at the beach!
The Pilot House – Later that evening we wanted something to nibble on and some refreshing drinks, and luckily Wilmington has several options that include a beautiful river view. The Pilot House has a fantastic patio right on the river, so we munched on some Brie and carpaccio, watched the boats go by, and had a perfect sunset.
Food brings out the worst “I’m so excited about digging in” faces in me.
What are some of your suggestions for my next visit to Wilmington? It’s less than a two hour drive from me, so I’ll be frequenting this fun place!
