Martha & Ron Come to Town

This weekend we were lucky to have Jimmy's mom, Martha, and her boyfriend, Ron, in town for a visit and we had such a blast! Friday Jimmy took a half day from work to get his momma and Ron from the airport and then he took them to have lunch in downtown Wilmington and then to explore Wrightsville Beach. Our wedding weekend was a poor excuse for a visit to the Wilmington area, so Jimmy and I were both happy that they finally got to see more of the place we call home. Friday night we hit up the Tiki Bar for live bluegrass music and dinner on the water.

This coming week just happens to be final week for Jimmy's first semester of grad school, so he had some studying to do Saturday AM while Martha, Ron and I staked out our spot on the beach. Fast forward a couple hours and some pretty nasty looking clouds rolled in, following by the anticipated showers, causing us to call our beach day short. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to commence our Carolina Beach bar hop a little earlier...

First stop was the Fat Pelican where you serve yourself from a choice of hundreds and hundreds of beer varieties from all over the world in big, very chilly cooler.

Representing our Maryland roots - shout out to Uncle Mike and family...

Next stops were dinner at Harbor Masters on the marina, Seawitch Tiki Bar and then finally the Last Resort.

Unfortunately, Martha and Ron had to catch a flight out bright and early on Sunday morning, so Saturday we called it an early night. All in all, it was such an amazing weekend. Jimmy and I both feel so blessed to have had the quality time. Can't wait until we can do it again!
