Our family vacation at Wrightsville Beach, NC

We just came back from our family vacation at Wrightsville Beach, NC. It was our best 2 day beach vacation that I could not be happier.

We started our journey on late Tuesday morning (June 9) by driving to the end of I-40. It was a nice and easy drive to the beach and it took only 3.5 hours to get there (by the way, Mark drove all the way there :>). We stayed at Blockade Runner Resort and Hotel. When we first arrived the hotel, I talked to myself "Oh no, not again". The front of the hotel looked like an old fashion apartment so I couldn't imagine how bad of the room would be. Surprisingly, our oceanfront with 2 queen bed were so beautiful, big, clean and well-maintained. Even if the bathroom was small and no bathtub but we didn't have any problems at all. It was worth it with the special rate $159/night included breakfast.

Tip : Early June (1st or 2nd week) is the best period of summer vacations if you don't want to pay double of hotel stays.

After enjoying our bedroom, we couldn't wait to get to the beach...Wow, it was amazing...beautiful and quiet. It was just where I really wanted to be with my family, perhaps to be alone with my husband next time!

Not only we enjoyed the best oceanfront hotel and the most beautiful beach, we also found Oceantic, our favorite oceanfront seafood restaurant as well.

Overall, we just found our favorite place of vacation and I could imagine us to be there again soon.

When we got back home late Thursday evening (June 11), I couldn't wait for the girls' bedtime. Why? I missed my bed more than anything because I hadn't slept for 2 days while I was at the beach. Poor Ped!!! :>
