Well it worked out pretty darn well to have our Wrightsville Beach trip end on Friday, July 26, and have our Figure 8 beach trip start later that same day. Especially when the two islands are only about 20 minutes apart! We were lucky to get two straight weeks at the beach, and we were really excited to check out Figure 8 Island for the first time.
But first we had a little downtime because the second beach house wasn't ready yet. So we headed to downtown Wilmington because I heard there was a cool railroad museum there by the river.
Turns out the rumors were true- it was super neat! Mostly because it has one of the longest, most extensive model train sets in the world. Collins in particular was fascinated by it. They gave us a scavenger hunt to find tiny pieces throughout the town, and it was not easy. But it kept the kids' attention for a long time.
Finally, it was time to head to the beach, and I was glad we decided to kill time in such an interesting way. Now a little nap while Mom figured out how to get us to a new place. Next stop...Figure 8 Island!
