Then we drove down to Wilmington, NC where we:
Explored the USS North Carolina battleship
Relaxed on the swings at Carolina Beach
Explored Fort Fisher & Kure Beach
Checked out Wrightsville Beach
Finally, we spent a day at Carowinds Amusement Park, where SP got to ride the new coaster, Fury, many times so he was a happy boy. I sat in the shade and read a book!

And then we drove home and began a seemingly non-stop whirl of shopping, cooking, cleaning, unpacking, laundry, ironing, changing from winter to summer bed stuff (it's been 89-90 degrees here!), yard work, garden work, and seeing SP's mom for Mother's Day. It feels like we already need another vacation! I think SP was happy to "escape" to work today, although he was dreading seeing his inbox.
