A few weeks back my husband and I went on a short two day vacation to Wilmington, NC. While we were there we checked out the downtown area of Wilmington, Southport (where Safe Haven was filmed), Oak Island, and Carolina Beach. We had so much fun exploring and checking out everything that area had to offer.
Here are some pictures from our trip. The first pictures are in Wilmington. This is overlooking the Cape Fear River.
I am a huge One Tree Hill fan so I loved seeing places they filmed. We went across the river to where the River Court used to be. I was definitely disappointed to see it no longer existed. We also spent over half an hour trying to locate the Clothes Over Bros location. I think we found it but it just looks so different now it was hard to tell, sadly.
We did however discover the most wonderful pizza place on the planet. It didn't look that great from the outside but as soon as we walked in and saw the pizza, I felt like I was in NYC. We decided to split a piece because we were planning to go out to eat later and just wanted a small snack. I can honestly say it was one of the best pieces of pizza I have ever eaten. We thought very seriously about changing our dinner plans and going back for more pizza.
We spent the first day exploring Wilmington itself. The next day we spent the morning at Southport and Oak Island. It was so beautiful down there. I really enjoyed seeing the small museum in the visitors center displaying pictures and props from Safe Haven. We had just seen the movie a few days before we went down. The movie was AMAZING by the way! We were able see where parts of the movie were filmed which was so fun.
From Southport, we drove across a bridge leading to Oak Island. We had a fun time driving the stretch of the island. The houses that lined the road were each so different and unique.
Later that afternoon we explored Carolina Beach. Bella loved running through the sand. She doesn't really like water but still went after the waves, barking and wagging her tail.
We had such a full two days. We love exploring new places together and this trip was great for us.
