Sun. April 18 [1982] Jacksonville, FL - Driving thru 3:30 PMDear Mother:
Slow in the cards!! We left Cris's in the A.M. and drove to Wilmington NC. We were lucky – we got accommodations at the Motel 6, stayed 3 nites. We especially enjoyed the gardens!! Since it was weekend of Azalea Festival there were a lot of extra events going on – some free!! The azaleas and dogwood at their height! Sat. AM was the parade – over 2 hours long. I got sunburn on my right arm, we got to area of parade about 8:30 AM began at 9:30. "Alfonso" [probably Almanzo, who was played by Dean Butler and married Laura in the 1981 seventh season premiere of the TV show] (Little House on the Prairie) was one of the celebrities in the parade. Good bands and many floats. Trying to get home tonite! Love, Mary & Bill.
Arr. Home 8:30 PM
