North Carolina Baby Visit Day #3 “Bye, Bye, Baby”

by reissmd, posted in Wilmington, North Carolina

We woke early and checked out of the hotel so we could drop Erica off at a meeting spot. She was to be picked up by the bride and groom to whom we are very grateful for bringing our daughter so much closer to us. Much to my surprise I didn’t cry when we said our goodbyes.

After dropping Erica off we headed to ILM (Wilmington, NC airport) our flight home (via Charlotte) and of course it was not a surprise to learn the flight was delayed. At least I had time to write the final entry to my blog for this trip. As usual I like to send some photos of some things that interested me.

Our flight attendant on our flight from LAX to Charlotte gave Patrice this note prior to landing.
On arrival we saw this in the hotel elevator. I suppose you can never have too much toilet paper.
I am not a beer drinker but I don’t recall seeing anyone hawking warm beer for sale.
Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” with a touch of Italy.
Do you think Leonardo would be upset about this gelato addition to his work?
I hate when I roll my ankle.
As tempting as it was to see Alexander Hamilton’s hair we passed on going to the Museum of the Bizarre.

And finally this sign we saw in the Wilmington, NC airport reminding us we were not in Los Angeles.

Do you really need a warning sign to tell you this?

That’s all for this trip. Thank you for all the comments. I really love reading them.

P.S. Eight hour delay for our flight to depart Charlotte for LAX. But we are home and safe.

  1. Robert,

    I’m so glad that you are having these lovely adventures,and appreciate that you share them with us. A moment of levity in my day.

    The cold beer remark makes sense. It’s like the sign over a strip joint at LAX that advertises “Live nudes”. I would pass on the alternative.

    Love

    Samir

  4. I am from The Queen City. The Carolinas have come a long way from when I left in 69. The “conscious level” is much higher now, but I still haven’t had enough therapy to live there. Nice that you were able to see you daughter! R
