Nikki was tired this morning. She was awoken last night by a bag on her bedroom floor rustling. She looked and discovered a centipede. So, she got up and moved to the couch, not wanting to share a room with a critter like that. As she dozed off to sleep, she felt a tickling on her arm, discovering a spider (only a daddy long legs) crawling on her. Needless to say, it was hard for her to sleep last night. The joys of living by the woods. (and she will kill me if she knows I took and posted this!)
The skyline of uptown Charlotte.
A beautiful old church in the city center. It's the First Presbyterian Church.
A cemetery in the middle of the city. It was interesting reading the OLD headstones.
My cousin Alyssa works in the city at the Foundation For the Carolinas. It's building has a beautiful art gallery and she showed us around.
After touring the city, we went to a cute shopping center that Alyssa recommended called Birkdale Village. Nikki and I had a great time walking around, shopping and enjoying lunch with Stan. The heat and humidity get to you, though, so we went back home for a nap and relaxed for the afternoon.
We took my aunt and uncle out to dinner tonight and then they showed us different sites in the area. It was nice visiting them this week and I will miss them. I look forward to coming back. There is so much to see and do here.
Of course, I can't forget Smokey Joe. Such a good dog. I took him down to the lake tonight and "fished". He likes to look for fish in the lake.
Tomorrow we are leaving North Carolina and headed back to Atlanta. Our vacation is sadly almost over.
