Technology free...(Day 2)

We slept in VERY late. I decided I wanted to hit the beach to work on my tan. So we had breakfast, packed a beach bag, dropped the top on the wrangler and we were off. Since we visited Kure Beach the day before (it wasn't that clean near Fort Fisher), we decided to head to Wilmington Beach. It was only about a 15 minute drive from our hotel. We looked for parking. (Note: parking here is strange but good. You can buy a ticket from a pay station and use it all day. You can move from parking space to parking space anywhere near the beach with that ticket. Very convenient as we found a closer spot after we parked so we moved.) This beach was much better....very clean and not overly crowded. We parked near 26th.  We found a spot in the sand and made it ours. My nephew had a ball in the ocean. We jumped waves and watched minnows in the shallow part of the ocean. After a few hours, it started to drizzle. We made it back to the jeep in enough time to put the top back up and head back to the hotel. After we showered we caught a movie (The Campaign starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis-who is a NC native is hilarious!!!) I felt bad though because it was rated R and had crazy language! LOL. Then we had dinner at a little place called Tokyo 101 as we laughed hysterically while reliving parts of the movie. Day 2 was a wrap.
