Happy Friday!
Countdown: 6 days (until we move from Wilmington to Carolina Beach).
OMG! 6 DAYS?! We’ve made progress toward the move, but we still have a lot more to do. It’s going to be a busy weekend for us.
I’m not seeing a single big event that really defines this weekend on the island. There are certainly lots of fun things to do this weekend though! Might be a good time to enjoy the beach before things got too crowded too.
Here are the events that I’m seeing around the island this weekend and next week.
