When we  got married and I moved in with my new roommate husband in July, we decided that we would try to explore and experience our new city with the few months we had here.  Gary has lived in the area since 2011, but never this close to Wilmington, so it was semi-new for him too!

We live in Hampstead, North Carolina which is about 15 minutes outside of Wilmington.  In the three and a half months we’ve been here we’ve been able to experience local restaurants, different beaches, new coffee and dessert places, a gun range, community produce stands, thrift and antique shops, and the river walk.

I’m sad that our time here in our first home is getting shorter and shorter but I’m glad we’ve taken the time to experience the things around us in this beautiful city!

And I look forward to the same tradition when we move to Augusta at the end of the year!
