Battleship USS North Carolina ~ Wilmington, NC

In February 2004, Jay and I visited Wilmington, NC, which is where I went to college.  We drove around town and saw several sites including the Battleship USS North Carolina, my University, Cape Fear River park, Wrightsville Beach, and others.  Wilmington has a lot of history and I'd advise any visitors to take the paddle boat tour, walking tour, or the carriage tour. 

Wilmington has also been a town where movies and tv series are frequently shot.  To name a few, the TV show Dawson's Creek was primarily shot in Wilmington.  Some of the scenes from the movie The Crow were filmed in Wilmington as well.  In fact, Brandon Lee was actually killed in Wilmington while filming the movie, The Crow. 

Below are some of the pictures we took while touring the Battleship and the town.  There are also some photo's of Fayetteville Speedway and the Special Ops Museum in Fayetteville, NC.
