Good Bye rain and MB ~ Hello North Carolina

Day 72 - 74 ~ Wilmington North Carolina and Sunshine !!!

After enjoying the rain in MB we decided to chase the sun into NC.  Our short drive to Wilmington was beautiful on Highway 17.  We arrived at a really nice KOA campsite and headed out to explore.

 We read about this famous donuts shop on the Boardwalk:

"Keep your flip-flops by the bed; when the sun rises, it's time for glazed doughnuts hot from the fryer at Britt's, a 70-year-old Carolina Beach boardwalk institution."

...and HAD to find it !!!


Yummy !
