To celebrate our anniversary on Saturday (July 23), we spent the late morning/early afternoon at Wrightsville Beach for yet another day. Then we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. Tyson had made reservations but I had no idea where or what it was going to be.
We arrived at the Little Dipper, which is a fondue restaurant! Neither of us had ever had fondue before, so we were both excited. We had a GREAT waiter who helped us through ordering. Everything was delicious. Here are pictures of our 4-course meal!!
 |
| Course 1: cheese, chips, fruit, and veggies |
 |
| Course 2: spinach salad w/ walnuts, strawberries, and raspberry vinaigrette |
 |
| Course 3: lobster, tuna, shrimp, steak, chicken |
 |
| The white merlot oil we chose |
 |
| Course 4: chocolate, fruit, pretzels, marshmallows, eau claire |
 |
| S'more on a stick! |
We tried to end the night by walking around downtown, but it was hot (again) and Tyson had a long-sleeve shirt and pants on, so it was too hot. :)

| We're shiny because of the "hot plate" on our table! It was making me sweat! |
On Saturday night we made plans for Sunday to go to a different beach: Carolina Beach. It was about a 20-25 min drive so we had planned to leave a little earlier than our usual beach time. The weather was perfect!! The sun went under a few times and it made it just the right temperature to play frisbee on the beach (the other days it was just too hot). The first location we went to had very few people too! After 2 hours, we moved to a new location which was much more packed!! (We had been parked in a 2 hour parking spot so we had to move!) After another few hours at our new spot, we decided to find a place to eat. On our way back to Wilmington, we made a quick stop at BrewThru which is a drive-thru convenient store. You just drive in, roll down your window, tell them what they want, and they get it for you. Genius!!

| The homes in Carolina Beach were AMAZING! |

| Enormous fish taco...he had to use a fork and knife |

We ended Sunday night by staying in and playing several games of Farkle at the hotel! Funny how sometimes when you're on vacation, doing something you could do at home is even better!
