Dane's mom and older sister live there (not to mention it's only an hour away from my hometown, Winston-Salem, NC) and we wanted to spend some time with them. They especially wanted to spend some time with baby Slade!
We arrived late Friday night and Slade woke up to play with his gg and finally went back to bed with us around 1AM.
The next morning we woke up bright and early and had a lunch with my dad, sister, brother in law, mother in law, sister in law, and her fiance. Oh, and of course Slade! He was the center of attention the entire meal. We ate at a "dive" which was called Lupie's and it was DELICIOUS.
Afterward I headed to the Salon that my sister in law manages- Modern Salon and Spa. It's beautiful and classy and everyone there was super friendly (maybe because their boss is my SIL!) haha. She had a lovely girl try and fix my horrid orange toned hair. Apparently it's not coming out, although it looks so much better and she fixed my uneven haircut. I am really thankful to have such a great SIL who would do that for me!
We left the salon and went to do m favorite activity ever, Shop!
The mall(s) in Charlotte are amazing compared to the one in Wilmington, or Winston. I bought entirely too many beautiful things and best of all, Slade bear got a Sophie (which for some reason I thought was spelled Sofie on the box...so sorry for my previous spelling error) She is precious and so cute and fun! I love the little squeaks she makes and Slade loves her! His bottom left tooth is practically right there, but still hasn't come in (which is FINE by me!!!).
Sunday we had lunch at a bar/grill type of restaurant called Thomas Street Tavern and boy was it DELICIOUS! It's one of those places you have to go to more than once because everything on the menu is so good. Afterward we checked out a bunch of vintage shops in the surrounding area. I got an amazing necklace that I love (for 6 bucks!!!).
It was really sad to say goodbye (like it always is) and Dane and I always talk about how we wish we could move...or that the beach could move with us. It's just not practical right now. I have another 6+ months of school to do and Dane has really great job here. Plus we are happy living minutes from the beach and I know Dane wants slade to grow up surfing like he did, which you can't do in the city. It's sad, but it makes the visits that much more special!
We had a great time!
