Charlotte Continued...

Tuesday I came to Charlotte and just hung out with Rose and ran some errands. I got to eat at Chick-fil-A. I love some Chick-fil-A. Especially their waffle fries. And the fact that they play Christian music in the restaurant. The we just hung out at their house after Korey got home and ate some food and talked.

Wednesday, as mentioned in previous post, Rose and I went to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Then hung out at their house.

Thursday, Rose and I went to the Latta Plantation and Latta Nature Preserve. We got a bit lost on the Latta Nature preserve trails... but it was a nice day for a hike. They need to either have paper maps to take with you, or signs up along the trail. They just have one sign with a map at the entrance to the trails by the parking lot. Anyway, we made it out eventually. :) Then after dinner we went to Cold Stone. I also love Cold Stone. Unfortunately... somewhere between Cold Stone and when we ran to Target Friday morning, I lost my debit card. So, after searching for it, I had to cancel it... so I'm down to my credit card and $75 cash until I get a new card in 5-7 business days. I have my checkbook too, but nobody takes out of town checks.

Today, Friday, we went to downtown Fort Mill, SC to take some pictures because they have cool old buildings. Rose is working on a project that she needed some "urban photography" and I just like taking pictures. They had a lot of antique shops we looked around in, but neither of us got anything. In the afternoon we went to Costco because Rose is trying to decide if the membership is worth it. Tonight we might go mini golfing after dinner, but it's kind of hot outside (still 88 at 5:30pm)... so we'll see. I'm not used to this hot weather!

This weekend we're going to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and going to The Biltmore Estate. More pictures will come on Sunday Night or Monday.

It's been fun and relaxing to see Rose and Korey and not be running around like crazy busy all day. I need the break. The only down side is that I am allergic to something here! Started as soon as I got here. I've gotten store brand Claritin-D, Afrin, and gone through a LOT of Kleenex. This needs to stop. Allergies suck. I'm glad I'm not this allergic to anything at home because it would be miserable to be like this all spring or all summer.

You can look at all my pictures to date by clicking on the slideshow in my previous post or by clicking the 'April 2009 - Charlotte Trip' link in the left hand column. I take a lot of pictures. Some are cool. Some are not. :)
