The weather is rather mild in the winter with the weather falling in the 60's (F) on most days.

Wilmington has a plethora of dining opportunities from local seafood to ethnic cuisine. Wilmington has also become well known for its coffee stores and breweries. I adore the Ghost tours downtown, so much history in addition to digging up the past ! Antiques shoppers appreciate Castle Street.
