Well, that’s a bummer. Who would have thought that one month could be so short a time. Well, I guess time does go fast when you are having fun.
Yesterday we drove up US 17 from Savannah to Surf City NC. Surf City is about 25 mile north of Wilmington NC. Since we could not get a campsite close to Wilmington we decided to go up the coast and find a campsite there. We could then go back down to explore Wilmington.
We are now in a really nice campsite right on the ocean.

There are about 350 sites, most are permanent or seasonal.
Today we drove down to Wilmington to see the city and visit the Battleship North Carolina. That is one big boat, or I mean ship.

The North Carolina was a WW II Battleship that saw action in the Pacific theater fighting the Japanese.
We then walked around Wilmington’s main shopping area and river walk. It looks like it has been hit hard by the recession, as there were about 5 empty stores on the main shopping area.
Well, tomorrow we start heading back towards the Big Apple. We will head up I-95 taking our time and should be back on May 19th.
To Be Continued…
