Five years ago, we packed up our Plymouth Voyager and set off on a great adventure. We were moving from Southern California to Asheville, North Carolina. As we got on interstate 40, in Barstow, CA, there was a sign that read "2,554 mi to Wilmington, NC."
Well, to celebrate 5 years in Asheville, and a couple of other big milestones we took a family vacation to Cape Fear - to the other end of "the forty".
A good time was had by all. We visited the USS North Carolina, went to the Aquarium, the Cotton Exchange, and treated ourselves to leisurely afternoons at the beach.
From my sketchbook - a drawing of the fisherman's wharf at Carolina Beach.
We stayed on the north end of Pleasure Island, (Carolina Beach). You can expect to see some paintings of boats, harbors and the island in the near future.
