I adore WHITE flowers...don't you? |
I purchased this lovely coastal bracelet and have worn it almost every day since being home. I miss North Carolina. Wilmington is such a BEAUTIFUL place. We also picked up these shells at the beach. |
This is on the of the stores that I did not purchase anything in , but I took a few photos. |
Taking a photo break...SMILE! |
I told hubby that I want to eat here next time. Too many places to eat and shop. Oh my, what is a girl to do?? ha~ |
I mean...doesn't this just draw you in? It is right along the riverfront. |
Okay...this store was GORGEOUS...beyond GORGEOUS, but I forgot to take in my camera so the only shot I got was of the outside. ugh! This is the store that I purchased the french grain tote from. |
This place is called THE SHOP OF SEAGATE. The next few pictures are from here. |
The COASTAL VIBE store is where I purchased my bracelet and I also purchased a beautiful white scarf. {forgot to take a photo of that to show you} |
Just plain yummy-ness!! ha! |
IF you click here you will find out all about THE COTTON EXCHANGE. It still has an old wagon right inside the door that holds a huge bale of cotton. That was neat to see and the building is beautiful! If you click the link be sure to then click on Cotton Exchange History. It is filled with several shops that are fun to peruse at your leisure. This is where I left my Canon camera!! Can you believe it? Hubby had already drowned one in the ocean and I forgot my other $400 camera in here on a bench. ugh!! THANKFULLY a lady who owned one of the stores found it quickly and held it for me. I will be honest, I was in TEARS when I got back to my son's apartment and found out I didn't have it. I thought I would never see it again. Thank GOD for honest people!!! |
Little Ms Ainsley had to have her photo taken here. She is so funny. WHO is she looking at? haha! I think this is the place where we booked a boat tour. Hope to share that soon also. |
These little granddaughters of ours LOVE the water. I haven't met many kids who don't. They had so much fun!! |
Beautiful little sisters Annika Lilyana and Ainsley Paige. |
Family photo shoot time again! {I never remember to have anyone take photos of hubby and I} |
This man of mine was looking for ships or anything really. It doesn't take much to make him happy. |
This is the beautiful Rose Garden that is just loaded with different kinds of roses. |
The building above houses the Gift Shop and restrooms. It was hot, hot, hot this day so we all took advantage of the cool air inside. |
Love the tables and chairs. Just perfect for a picnic. |
They had bright painted objects throughout the garden. Usually I am not drawn to bright colors, but they fit in just right here. |
Entrance to the Rose Garden that our two granddaughters are walking through. |
My hubby loved this dragon. I think he would have pulled it home if he could. lol Notice the GREEN water. Seemed to be that way a lot of places. Not sure why. |
Feeding the fish. These fish were HUGE and there were a lot of them! |
Perfect walk for a Children's Garden. |
