At the end of October, we headed to the dirty south to check out Charlotte, NC. [We went for a few reasons. 1. Justin's buddy, who used to be the General Manager for the Portland trail blazers, is now the General Manager for the Charlotte Bobcats. It was his wifes birthday on Halloween and he had invited us to the surprise party and opening night for the Bobcats basketball team two days later 2. Justins new firm had hired a big sports attorney into the Atlanta office and wanted Justin to go meet with him and 3. there was a Rush concert there that same week, so it all just worked out perfect. And Neither of us had been to the South, Florida just doesn't count, so we were pretty excited to check it out.
We got in on a Saturday and the boys were such great fliers. We took a car seat and the switched off who sat in it. We also had a layover in Dallas which was a great break to stretch out their legs. We also had an extra seat on each flight since they weren't full.
Justin had to work the entire trip, so the boys and I got to explore a lot by our selves. We went to the Childrens museum, which our OMSI pass got us into for free! We spent the very cold morning huddled in here while the boys played with lots of fun exhibits. The favorite being the water feature of course.
The giant light bright was a huge hit!
We loved getting to be with dad at night. He pulled a couple of really late nights, working on the west coast time schedule, but it was all fun. We didn't adjust the kids time clocks, so they went to bed every night at 11.
We had to hit up some fried chicken, which did not disappoint. Im pretty sure we gained several pounds in the week we were there.
We had to make a stop at the Nascar Hall of Fame, and of course was awesome.
And we ended this day with the Rush concert in tickets we got for free from Rich. They were the furthest away we have ever been, but we got big comfy seats and good food. And before the show, we got to tour the Bobcats facility and peek into Micheal Jordans office.
