Things To Do
We're so excited to welcome you to Wilmington, NC! Jake's parents moved here in 2016 after his father, Shaun, came here on a business trip and convinced his mother, Ellen, to move here sight unseen. While you are here, we hope you enjoy all this charming city has to offer! Here are a few of our favorite places.
Random fun fact: Wilmington is nicknamed "Wilmywood" because many movies and shows have been filmed here, including One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, A Walk to Remember, Empire Records, Iron Man, Weekend at Bernie's, and so much more!
