Abby & Joel
Things To Do
Wilmington Riverwalk
Stroll along America's Best Riverfront (actual award, not just Abby's opinion). The majority of our first date happened here, and where Joel popped the Big Question!
Yosake Downtown Sushi Lounge
Our go-to date night dinner spot. The firecracker shrimp & half-priced sushi can't be beat.
Battleship North Carolina
Any fellow homeschoolers or history nerds coming to visit? You'll love this.
Thalian Hall
Catch a movie or play in this treasure of a historic theater.
Wrightsville Beach
Let's be honest, the reason people come to Wilmington is the beach. There are several good places to get your toes in the sand, but this beach is closest to the all action. (Topsail, a little further north is the forever favorite though)
Topsail Beach
The favorite beach of the Jernigan family, it is not as fussy and flashy as the other beaches around Wilmington. It's a little far north to where all our wedding stuff is happening, but it's worth the drive once you experience the quiet charm of our little island.
