Charlotte, NC

We went on a little trip again once John's summer was over and our first stop was Charlotte NC! John's brother Andy and his family live there. We were able to stay for a week and a half. I didn't get hardly any pictures so I am kind of bummed but we had so much fun there! Here is some of the stuff we did:
*Shopped! They have these awesome outlets right by their house and The Childrens Place was having there huge sale where all the summer clothes were a dollar a piece. I went three different days and went hog wild. I bought clothes for a boy or a girl so whatever this baby is, we will be set!
*Went to the park. Madi had never been to the park (I know that's sad). She loved the swing!

*We went to the US National Whitewater Center for a day. John's Mom watched Madi for half of the day and then she met up with us while Katy watched her the rest of the day. It was so nice to be with John the whole day and enjoy all the activities. This is the kind of stuff we love to do together. We went whitewater rafting. It is a man made river that has all the rapids, rocks, and eddy's a real river would have. This is actually where the olympic whitewater rafting team practices in the winter. Next we went on a zipline that was 1,123 feet long and about 50 feet in the air. We glided over the rapids and it was a huge rush. It was so much fun! Once John's mom got there we rafted the river again and it was way funner the second time because we went down the experienced river rather than the family river. The last thing we did was flat water kayaking. It was mostly relaxing but it did give my arms a good workout. There was so much to do that we couldn't fit it all into one day but some of the activiies we missed were mouuntain biking, rock climbing, and the whitewater kayaking. I definitely recommend you go there if you are ever in Charlotte. It was a blast! We were so busy and having so much fun that we didn't take any pictures of all the fun stuff. Here are some pictures afterwards.

*Went golfing. Usually my max is nine holes but they had a really good deal so I went 18. I used womens clubs this time and I did so much better. It was a pretty hard course but so much fun. The boys went a second time on Saturday and got poured on :( Of course they played through it.
* Went to see John's Dad and Eleanor in Kernersville for a couple of days!
