Weekend Getaway: Wrightsville Beach

In need of some Vitamin SEA? Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina is a small coastal town that will help remedy your ocean deficiency.

Where to stay:
Hotel wise, you need to do your research to see what fits your needs and budget. The Blockade Runner is a famous one and it’s centrally located. There are also rental houses scattered throughout the town.





What to do:
THE BEACH! Go early in the morning to claim your spot…especially on the weekends.


If you get a little too much sun, you can spend an afternoon strolling Lumina Station. Here you'll find small boutiques, a cute coffee shop, and a french cuisine restaurant. Craving Cold Stone or want to see the latest film? Stop by the shops at Mayfaire Towncenter!



Or spend the evening playing mini golf or laser tag at Jungle Rapids; it’s cheesy and tacky, but a whole lot of fun!



What to see:
Venture in to downtown Wilmington and see the famous battleship! Downtown is especially cool at night! Or you could see the latest blooms at Airlie Gardens.




Where to eat:
Breakfast/Brunch: Causeway Cafe

It's old fashioned. In fact, the restaurant just celebrated its 30th anniversary. There's a reason why you have to wait a while to get into the cafe on weekend mornings.


Lunch: Dockside or Trolley Stop Hot Sogs

Dockside restaurant has also been around for ages. It's situated right on the dock so you can expect the freshest catch of the day! And nothing says summer more than a grilled hot dog with mustard and ketchup!



Dinner: Oceanic or Bluewater Grill

Oceanic is known for its starter basket of hush puppies. You'll be entertained by watching the surfers on the beach while enjoying the finest of seafood. Or enjoy the live music and the views of the sound at Bluewater Grill!


Dessert: Boombalitis Ice Cream

Four Words: four mini scoop sampler…you can get four small scoops of their amazing flavors. My person favorite is the Mocha Oreo.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
