3rd trip - Wilmington KOA in Wilmington, NC with Fairfield Harbour RV Club

The Fairfield Harbour RV Club's Open House was Saturday, April 20th and the next day we finished packing up the RV and headed the short distance (approx 2 hours) to Wilmington, NC to join up with Wagonmasters Betsy & Don Albaugh and Karen & Dave Costello.  Joan & Bob Ross also arrived a day early and Pat A & Walter Rucks, Fay H & Wayne Fretwell, Debbie & Jim Harris and Roberta & Bill Flynn joined us the next day.

Ten of us decided to do the trolley ride around Wilmington which was very educational and interesting.  Plenty to do around the area and we found a great bar & grill downtown:  Front Street Brewery Bar & Grill.  We had dinner there with Costellos the first night and then met up there for a group happy hour the day we did the trolley ride.

Ed and I went to the Wilmington Arboretum and Amy (one of my good friends from Raleigh IBM day) and her two boys (a toddler and a baby) came and met us at the campground and then we headed to Airlie Gardens to walk around there.

Ed also went to the USS North Carolina Battleship along with the Costellos and Bill Flynn & Jim Harris while I walked the dogs around the grounds.

Don Albaugh arranged for the group dinner at the Bridge Tender Restaurant at Wrightsville Beach which was very good.

We ended the trip on Friday, 4/26 and headed home to Fairfield Harbour. 

(Ed ended up flying to Michigan on Tuesday to be there while his Mom had a quadruple by-pass.)
