Our plans for dinner with Katie, Jackson, Becca and Davis Saturday night had to be delayed...Becca and Jackson have the flu. :( Sunday rolled around and I couldn't wait any longer. We went over for a short visit (if you can call three hours short) and I finally got to hug Katie and Jackson! Didn't hug my beautiful Becca...we waved from across the room, but Jackson is on the tail end of his flu, so I risked a hug or ten! They each made a cool chalkboard sign welcoming Grandma and Mr. Jack home and had them perched in the transom over the living room entry. Katie admitted she climbed up a side table and leaned waaaaaay out to place hers up there. They've both grown taller, but there're still my silly kids.
We met Pickles...their newest cat. He looked so little in the pictures six months ago, but he sure is a big now...he's also a sweet boy. Toured the house to see what's new, got my mail and all the Christmas gifts I've recently ordered from Amazon, admired the Christmas tree and Jackson's Lego ornaments and got more hugs. I didn't take any photos, but you know I will!
The kids didn't want me to leave (and neither did I) but we have lots more visits to look forward to.
We're headed to Wilmington the first week in January. We want to mainly be near a beach. We see you are at the KOA. Is that closer to family? We are wondering if you can comment on any other campgrounds on the coast.
ReplyDeleteHi...The KOA is the only campground in Wilmington and, yes, it's very close to my family. It is a well-maintained campground close to shopping and restaurants. It's only an 8 mile drive to Wrightsville Beach and about 12 miles to Historic Downtown Wilmington Riverfront. There is a small campground about 30 minutes south in Carolina Beach called Winners and an oceanfront campground about 30 minutes north in Topsail called Surf City Family Campground that gets good reviews. Topsail is a nice little beach town, I haven't visited either campground because they don't meet my location needs. Wilmington will be chilly in January but is a great place to visit. Hope you have a great trip wherever you decide to stay.
