Undomestic Goddess: Forth of July Weekend... Finally!

Sorry I have been so slow lately. I have been busy and intend to fill you in with a blog post soon! So for the forth, we went to Wilmington, NC to see Aaron's family and visit with one of his friends that was in our wedding.

Our first stop was Aaron's Papa's house on Carolina beach. We got there on Saturday and stayed the night. We had lunch with Papa and Della (Papa' fiancee), visited Aaron's uncle Jerry, aunt Nancy and cousin Jordan, and had dinner with everyone. That night Aaron, Jordon, Nancy and I went to get some of the BEST doughnuts in the world from Brit's and to walk around the downtown area where they have a small carnival all summer long!

We also went four wheeling on the beach at North End that morning. It was not on ATVs but in vehicles that have 4 wheel drive so you do not get stuck in the sand. People can drive, camp, and cookout on this beach. And being 4th of July weekend, it was PACKED.

The next morning Aaron and I walked to the pier and took pictures. Then we went into Wilmington and saw everyone on his dad's side of the family and ate lunch and then visited some family friends. For dinner, we tried Red Robin for the first time! All I have to say is all you can eat SWEET POTATO FRIES! Love them! Then we picked up his friend Brian from the airport and drove an hour to his parent's house at Ocean Isle, NC. We stayed there Sunday and Monday night. Their house is right on the beach and it was great to watch fireworks, cookout and spend time with friends.
