This weekend I flew to Fort Myers, Florida with 5 of my friends. We found nonstop flights from Wilmington to Fort Myers on a budget airline for $70. When I say budget, I mean BUDGET. We were allowed to bring one personal item for no additional charge. That meant we packed for the weekend super light since we could only…
For New Years this year we were going for o go out to the Tiki Tavern to celebrate. Last minute, we decided to have pre party at my house. We did appetizers and we were going to play games.

A group of us took a trip to Cary for the NC Chinese Lantern Festival. We loaded up in the van and made the 2 hr trip. We stopped for dinner at YardHouse and then headed to the festival. When we got close to the venue, there were soooo many people that I was a little nervous about how crowded…
We went to the Southport Light the Night Christmas Parade and had a good time. We rode our bikes up to watch from in front of the Tiki Tavern. We met Carolina who joined us to watch the parade. The parade seemed longer this year than years past. There were a lot of good floats.

Scott and I were invited to enjoy some of our friends for a bonfire on the beach on Oak Island. We took our chairs, some drinks, blankets, and picked up some pizzas for everyone to enjoy. Jen built us a beautiful fire and Mother Nature provided a beautiful sunset. It was a great evening!
