Wilmington Weekend

March 3, 2011 Comments : 5

So I didn’t go on a tropical Spring Break trip…obviously, or I wouldn’t be blogging right now…I’d be hungover on a sunny beach somewhere. HA. I did go to my favorite place ever, though: Wilmington, NC. Somewhere along the way in high school, I fell in love with Wilmington, and I planned to go to college at UNCW. I toured the college, which made me want to go even more. I was accepted, and almost went, but I ultimately chose Virginia Tech. Fast forward to the summer after Freshman year, and I reapplied to UNCW and looked into transferring…got accepted a second time…and then ended up not going through with it. So, obviously that plan didn’t work out, but I still hope to live there someday soon!

I’ve been to Wilmy a handful of times, and I never want to leave. So we took a trip this past weekend from Friday to Monday, and had a blast! Lots of sightseeing, bars, restaurants, and a little running at Wrightsville Beach. A perfect weekend to me!

Saturday, we went on a tour of Screen Gems Studios…home to One Tree Hill, Dawson’s Creek, and tons of other films and television shows! I’m one of those obsessed One Tree Hill fans…kidding…sort of. haha. I have watched OTH from Day 1, so it was exciting to tour the sets of the show and walk where the actors have walked. Especially James Lafferty. Ha kidding…

Saturday night kind of turned into a bar crawl…it just kinda happened. Started out watching the Tech vs. Duke basketball game drinking mojitos, and ended up watching Tech win in a charming Irish pub (Slainte, I highly recommend it…closest resemblance to an authentic Irish pub!). There were a few other random bars/clubs in there too, but the Irish pub was by far the most memorable.

Sunday, after an amazing run on Wrightsville Beach (the weather was PERFECT), we had lunch at The Eat Spot (another really awesome restaurant, btw!) and then headed to Southport, NC. Southport is across the river and due South from Wilmington…its a small coastal town that’s pretty much a fishing village. If you’ve seen A Walk to Remember or I Know What You Did Last Summer, you’ve seen Southport. It was a cute town, but honestly it was a little creepy, since its basically shut down on Sundays. We found the only two things open in Southport: a Port City Java (another favorite!) and a gas station. We drove back at dusk down back roads and made a stop at Orton Plantation to see if we could see the home behind the gated entrance…no such luck, but it sure was scary. Dark, empty backroads with no outlet. Would have made for a great horror movie. But I’d rather not be the star of it.

Monday, we hit Topsail Beach on the way home. Topsail reminds me of Nags Head in a lot of ways. Although I pretty much love every beach in North Carolina…not too picky about that one. Again, I left Wilmington with a desire to go back…to live there permanently. I’ve always said that I am going to live there, so it will happen, if you know me and my determination. ha. In the meantime, I’ll keep visiting! You should too…its worth the trip! πŸ™‚

Last week to this week ➑️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➑️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia β€” having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn πŸ₯° Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❀️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good β€” Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good β€” I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM πŸ₯³ Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel πŸ˜… I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do πŸ˜’ After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed πŸ˜†, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things πŸ’ͺ🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle πŸ€ͺ

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals β€” the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week πŸ˜… Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🀣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
