While Denise is away in Myrtle Beach for the weekend, the girls, along with two of Jackie’s friends made a trip

The Girl's aboard the Peacemaker

downtown Saturday evening to set foot aboard the Peacemaker, a 150 foot sailboat, currently docked along the Wilmington, NC Riverfront.

The vessel arrived in Wilmington on Saturday, March 7th and is expected to leave shortly after the conclusion of Wilmington’s 2009 Azalea Festival, held April 1 - 5.

While touring this massive boat I was struck by all of the gorgeous teak and oak aboard and how well kept everything is. The girls were awed (and concerned) by how high above the waters we were when aboard. They also “oohed and awwed” inside the pilot’s quarters, especially when viewing the massive wheel which steers this boat.

Of course, no trip downtown would be complete without making a stop at Kilwin’s Ice-Cream Shop.
