so i just got back from wilmington, nc last night and i had soo much fun. i went a couple years ago when i was obsessed with dawson’s creek. this trip however, which i made with my cousin and a friend, was all about one tree hill. we got to visit the studio and sets (couldn’t take pics there sorry!) and some of the on-location sites. at the studio we were able to see peyton’s office at tric, brooke’s house, nathan and haley’s house and the high school, which included lucas’ office and the locker room. it was a lot of fun. sorry to those of you expecting spoilers. i didn’t really see anything that would give away upcoming storylines. basically we just got to take in all nc has to offer while nj was plagued with snowy cold weather. lots of pics to share below. look familiar?

so all in all, it was a fun trip. no cast sighting unfortunately since it was the weekend. we were hoping to catch filming on monday but they seemed to be in studio that day. figures. a guy we met said they might not be filming because of the holiday (martin luther king jr day) but we saw chad’s hummer parked at the studio. anyway, i’m hoping there will be another season and i get to visit next year as well. i definitely recommend wilmington to any oth or dawson fans. it’s an adorable place with really nice people and great sights. if you want to check it out during the summer it’s really hot, but you do have wrightsville beach right down the road. sweeet.
