Charleston to Fort Fisher

Ft. Fisher

We planned on being out of Charleston by 9:00, 10:30 we finally pulled out of the gate(we aren't good with schedules).  We took Route 17 the whole way up, nicer than the 95, but a lot of red lights in some areas.  We pulled into camp about 3:00, got checked in, found our spot and settled in.  OK, no cooking for me tonight, we headed up the road and found this place called 'Big Daddy's'.  We had the steam pot (clams, mussels, shrimp, kielbasi and a large crab leg cluster all with a garlic seasoning), which was o.k., but probably the most expensive place we have eaten to date, and the food was just o.k.  We walked across the street to the fishing pier where the pelican's were trying to steal peoples catch.  Back to camp to figure out what we are going to do on Wednesday.



Wednesday we got up and decided to head up to Wilmington, it is a cool, gray day and not much of a beach day.  We headed up the road and found our way out come Friday, then headed into Old Town Wilmington.  We went to a place called 'The River Landing Restaurant' for lunch, and sat on one of the little patio's on the second floor.  We walked around the old town area and hit a lot of the little shops.  It was about 3:00 when we headed out of town and I made Brad drive down as many of the old cobble stone streets as I could....they had the neatest old building.  We took our time heading home, had to stop at Wal-Mart for somethings for the RV....of course they didn't have any of the things, so off we go again.  We get back to camp and are thinking about going for a walk, but here comes the rain.  OK no stroll tonight and it looks like tuna melts for dinner.  More tomorrow, beach plans for tomorrow.  Diane
