Mark - Thanks for the restaurant tip...we had a great dinner in Southport last Labor Day, but I can't remember the name of the place - it's a neat town. We're looking at the Bald Head Conservancy museum/trail too...it looks like a neat place.

avalondarlyn - that's a little up the road from where I'll be, but I will file that for future reference - the Cape Fear area is my in-laws-to-be's preferred vacation spot, with a preference for Wrightsville, Kure or Carolina beach.
