More in North Carolina

We are enjoying our stay here. It is very humid. On our first day at the beach, Tuesday, we only got about 1 1/2 hours at the beach because it started raining. Wednesday the same thing happened! One night, I don't remember which one now, it poured rain during the night. It is quite an adventure to hear the rain on our roof!! We really love hearing it. I suppose it is kind of like living in a house with a tin roof. Very pleasant, but loud sometimes. In our home we didn't realize how strong the wind and rain was during bad storms.

Thursday it looked as if it was going to be rainy again so we went about a mile down the road to Fort Fisher History Museum. It is the location of a civil war battle. Very interesting to read the history and visit. We then turned north and traveled to Wilmington, NC. We walked the boardwalk that ran along the side of the Cape Fear River and saw steamboats and the Battleship North Carolina! It's HUGE! There is also a very large barge docking right across the river from our camper. At night it is beautiful because it is decked with lights! It has docked here now for 2 nights. The river is huge too!Yesterday we stayed at the beach most of the day, but the older boys got burned and did not return today. We did more school this afternoon and took it easy. It is nice to relax after so much packing and moving!
