Saturday Matt and I headed east to Wilmington to visit the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. It was funny to us how different the East coast is from the West. We really enjoyed playing in the warm water!
We were amazed at how many sea shells there were. It was so fun fighting the tide for the biggest shells. Unfortunately Matt lost his favorite sunglasses in the process.
Next we went to downtown Wilmington, which was beautiful. There was so much history everywhere we turned. We also found out that a lot of films and TV shows are filmed in Wilmington, like A Walk to Remember, Nights and Rodanthe, One Tree Hill, and Dawson's Creek. Not quite Universal Studios but it was still really interesting!
Next was USS North Carolina, which was used during WWII.
The whole time we were swimming on the beach I kept telling Matt that I didn't want to get eaten by a shark. He just laughed, but then at the USS N. Carolina we saw a map that showed the shark attacks in the area. Yikes.
