Burton Beginnings: Part 2....Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington

For the most part, we spent a lot of time at Wrightsville Beach, which is just 5 miles south of Wilmington. The weather was PERFECT!! The temperatures were still in the 90s (like at home) and one day in the 100s, but with a cool ocean breeze, it felt more like 80s.

The pathways leading up to the beach had the hottest sand!


Everyone rode these cruiser bikes around! If we go back again, we are renting some!

Most of the beach time was spent with Tyson swimming/playing in the ocean, while I worked on my tan on the beach. Every now and then I got in the water too. The temperature of the water was perfect too! Cool enough to cool you down, but after being in it for a couple seconds, it was warm enough too!

We ran a few days on vacation too. In Wrightsville Beach there is a 2.45 loop (which is really called "The Loop") that we ran on a couple days. It just took you in a big circle. It wasn't as close to the water though, so it was pretty warm out there.

We also did a lot of exploring in downtown Wilmington. It's a perfect little city. The population is around 100,000 but when you are downtown, it seems like such a small town (kind of like Cedar Falls). Here are a few pictures of places we saw and went.
