It's no secret, college town or not, that Wilmington slows down after the summer. And though late winter can be cold and boring, we welcome the chill pace in our little beach town during the months leading up to the holidays.
Friday night we grabbed a quick bite and decided to join the rest of Wilmington (no joke) at Legion Stadium for a local showdown football game - Hoggard High vs. New Hanover High. It was quite an event to say the least. New Hanover hasn't beaten Hoggard since 1996 - Hoggard Vikings reign supreme!
Saturday Jimmy spent most the day studying for the GMATs like the diligent person that he is. I offered moral support laying just a few feet from him on the couch. We were both in need of some fresh air, so we set out for a bike ride to explore. It was technically Saturday night as we made our way back home, so we stopped in for a pumpkin beer at the Fat Pelican and then a great glass of wine at our local coffee shop/wine bar. The lady working Two Wine Guys called Sacred Stone her, I think it was, "porch crusher", because this California blend is truly too easy to drink, take a bottle to your porch and you may not come back inside with any of it left...

Sunday Jimmy continued his studies and watched football. I finished "Bright Shiny Morning" and started and completed "New Moon". I freaking love the Twilight books. They are seriously so addicting.
Well, that is it for us and our weekend.
