  • Capri Flavors

    Nonna’s Place We are always looking for fantastic Italian import stores. Why? Well, DoubleC is Italian – 100% Italian although born in America. He is technically a first-generation American Italian – which is funny to me because most first gen. immigrants I meet of Italian descent are at least a generation (or more!) older than…

  • Jubala

    Coffee and Biscuits and Waffles – Oh My! Now, this was a place that we had no memory of ever having been to. As I mentioned though, it was starred on our map. It was a mystery to be solved. Had we researched it before meaning to go? Had we planned on meeting someone there…

We were heading into North Caroling from the southern coast and while Wilmington still took some weaving to get…

  • Return to Hoppin’Jack

    You knew that we’d be back! North Carolina Like Circles on a Spirograph, one of our recent treks took us – after a very long spin elsewhere – back to North Carolina. I can’t say that it all started here, but it also kind of did. DoubleC had an opportunity to work on site in…
