Wilmington

Less than two hours southeast of Cutter Creek lies the city of Wilmington, North Carolina, one of North Carolina's primary destinations for golfers, boaters, and shoppers. If you're on your way to Myrtle Beach, a mecca for southern golfers, stop to work on your game at one of Wilmington's premiere golf courses, such as Pine Valley Country Club and the Jack Nicklaus course at the Country Club of Landfall.

In the heart of the city, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington is a place of learning and growth. The university is home to one of the state's only film studies programs, as well as being well-known for their marine biology, education, and nursing programs. Encourage young artists at some of the university's art showings, or watch young talent emerge at a dance or theater show.

For the film lover, Screen Gems studios is the place to be in Wilmington. One of the largest television and motion picture studios outside of Hollywood, Screen Gems produces popular television shows such as Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill. Sharpen your acting skills as an extra and you may see yourself on the big screen one day.

Each year during the month of April, the North Carolina Azalea festival is held in Wilmington. Take the whole family to meet the Azalea Queen and see the weekend parade, or let the kids pick out something special at the street fair before seeing the Cole Bros. circus. For the adults, there are concerts by such famous artists as Natalie Cole and Alabama, as well as tours of the city.

If you go to Wilmington, be sure to visit the Cape Fear River and Wilmington's downtown area. Take a romantic walk on the waterfront and watch the boats, or take a ride on the water for yourself. Afterwards you can peruse the many quaint art galleries and shops that line the streets downtown and have dinner at one of the area's unique restaurants.

When the family comes to visit, make sure to take them down to Wrightsville Beach, a five-minute drive from Wilmington. Have a family picnic on the shore or watch the kids splash in the ocean. When the hot midday sun gets to be too much, walk up the street for ice cream at one of the beach's numerous surf shops. A family trip to Wrightsville Beach is one you will never forget.

A day of culture on the river and fun and sun on the North Carolina coast is just a short drive away when you call Cutter Creek home.
