The number of weeks I have left here at App State is slowly decreasing, between trying to get my work done, hang out with friends and explore nearby areas, time is limited. But, nevertheless, the weekend just past, three friends and I went to Wilmington. If you've seen or heard of One Tree Hill, then you will already be familiar with the area.
The drive was five hours long, but once we arrived we went to my friend’s house and visited her family and later grabbed some food and got an early night in preparation for the Azalea Festival that was taking place on Saturday.
The Azalea Festival occurs once a year down in Wilmington, the azalea is the flower of Wilmington hence why they have a whole festival dedicated to it. The festival consisted of a two-hour long parade, which was quite the show, and then firework displays later that night.
We decided to stay for the whole parade as my friend’s sister was taking part in it. After this, we decided to head to the beach. Oh, my how I missed the beach, the only difference despite the water temperature and weather, was the sand; back home in Brighton we only have pebbles. But, a beach is still a beach and we were able to kick back and relax.
After a busy, yet relaxing day in the sun it was now time to head back to App. The weather had taken a slight turn and the rain was pouring non-stop, but this was a blessing in disguise as it helped me sleep for most of the drive home.
