Beautiful North Carolina (day 3)

Another beautiful day in North Carolina, after breakfast we headed for the coast.  We got to Historic Downtown Wilmington just in time for lunch!  Found a great place right on the Cape Fear River.  Right across from the battleship USS North Carolina.

Instead of our usual shrimp and oysters we had fried flounder and soft shell crab.  both were very good, not sure if I would have the crab over oysters again but all the food was good.  we walked down the boardwalk..

and walked around the area.  as it is not "tourist" season the tours were not running..  we then headed to Carolina Beach.  It was pretty quiet and most of the shops were not open.  too bad.. I am sure it is a great place to visit when everything is hopping.

as you arrive into North Carolina they have a few signs with the laws and regulations of the state.  one of them needs updating.  we have not used candles in headlights in 100 years!

all in all it was a wonderful weekend in North Carolina.  too much to see, so we missed a lot but so much fun to see family and friends.
