Much needed break taken @ Wrightsville Beach

We spent a short, but very relaxing weekend at the Blockade Runner in Wrightsville Beach.  It was only 4 hours away, right on the beach, and within walking distance of restaurants and shops.  The room we stayed in was newly renovated and nicely decorated.  I think the shower needs redesigning (it doesn't close--that makes it challenging to shower a two-year-old without getting the floor soaked.  The AC was a bit noisy coming on intermittently through the first night, but I fixed that by turning it from "AUTO" to "LOW."  
It is amazing that it can be 100 degrees outside, but if you have a breeze at the beach, it is quite pleasant anyway!  We ate dinner the first night a 22Lumina.  Touristy, as expected.  The menu was a big chalkboard they moved from table to table.  Dave had the chicken and dumplings, I had the pink snapper Calabash, and Lily had the popcorn shrimp.  Everything was very tasty and fresh.  Lily made a little friend of a 1 year-old tyke named Max.  To be continued....
