My Trip to Hollywood!!

These photos were taken September of 2008 while on our trip to Wilmington, NC (known as the Hollywood of the East). Wilmington is a great place to visit for many reasons, one of which is that One Tree Hill is filmed there. It's one of my favorite t.v. obsessions. We got to visit many of the locations seen on the show. (Click on the links to see the stars in action.)

Here's me checking out the Clothes Over Bros. Boutique. Unfortunately, Brooke had to close shop for the day.

Where have all the stars gone?

Although I didn't get a glimpse of any cast members, I did get a glimpse of some of the starring manikins.

Wanna see for yourself?

This is where all the magic happens.

Notice the filming equipment lying on the floor? Pretty cool, huh.

While visiting the USS North Carolina Battleship, we stumbled upon this. This basketball court is a popular spot for the kids of Tree Hill.

This shot was taken in a quaint little courtyard located in between the street lined boutiques and The Cotton Exchange. Can you tell who was on a sugar rush after eating some ice cream? This was the very first photo I posted for the debut of Pieces of Me back in October. Boy, how time flies.

Speaking of debuts, don't forget to check out my debut at Five Moms and a Blog today. Hope y'all enjoy it!

*******************************
Most moms have an obsession of photographing their families that they rarely are ever seen coming out from behind the camera. That's why Carin @ Forever in Blue Jeans created a new challenge for all blogging mamas. It's called 52 Weeks. Every week moms will be stepping away from their cameras and sharing the spotlights with their loved ones. Looking through my photos, I discovered that it's so true. I'm missing in action in most of the shots. And really it doesn't bother me one bit. Well......maybe just a little. I would have to say that when I look at pictures of me growing up, my favorites aren't the ones of me alone. They're the ones that capture me with my family, especially my parents. So, I'm excepting the challenge.

Hey, next time you go, can I tag along? YOu can just put me in your suitcase til we get there!!!

You'll hate me for saying this, but I've never seen even one episode of One Tree Hill. How sad is that? I'm a REALITY TV FREAK!

What a fun trip!! That's so cool that you got to see all of that stuff from One Tree Hill. I don't watch the show much, but it is cool to see in person things from a show. Cute cute pics of your family!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

I tried to comment on this before but for some reason I couldn't. We'll try today.

I have never seen One Tree Hill so of course wouldn't know the cast or the locations. But it looks like you were having fun!

Great pictures!

The only sure cure for CCD is chopping off all of your fingers. I think its a bit drastic, so I choose to just live with my condition. I, like you, have my good days and my bad days. Today has been a very, very, very bad day! ha ha ha I must've left a million comments!!! ha ha ha

Happy Memorial Day!
