We hit the road on Tuesday to head down to the Space Coast Book Lovers Conference. Luckily, traffic was at a minimum and conversation was at a high. Before we knew it, we had hit our first stop: Wilmington, North Carolina.
Wilmington is a very nice town along the Cape Fear River. We had made reservations at one of Marriott’s new Aloft concept hotels. It was located along the River Walk and next to a Railroad Museum. Part of the hotel was housed in what was once the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad terminal!
We had a lovely dinner with my co-pilot’s family in the area and then we were off the next morning for Cape Canaveral, Florida. Not a bad trip as well especially since we were able to hit Buc-ees and get ourselves some souvenirs and beaver nuggets. Unfortunately, it was too early to get some brisket because it is nom nom. LOL!
We finally hit our destination in what is actually Cocoa Beach (Cue I Dream of Jeannie theme song). It was time to drop off some swag at the Convention Center and check-in. After dinner, we spent some time assembling some other swag for the Friday events at the conference.
This is my first time to the Space Coast Book Lovers Conference and I really looking forward to it! I’ll try to keep you posted over the next few days on how it’s going!
Here are some photos from our road trip!
