C/C Trip #4 Back to Charlotte

As is our usual routine, we headed back to Charlotte

to visit with Aunt Marilyn a couple more days.

Not many pictures from here on out, but here are a few.....

selfies.  

I don't do a lot of selfies unless

they are with someone else.

But the mood struck me so here are a couple,

while we were driving along in the car.

Once we go to Aunt Marilyn's we started our routine

of cleaning her apartment.  She does a good job of keeping

up with it and has someone that does the floors for her, but

Dave does a little heavy duty cleaning when we visit.

Then we made our plans for the next couple days,

Walmart for groceries and a couple other things,

Kohl's and Barnes & Nobles.

She does love to do a little shopping.

Of course, we needed to get together with Monica again.

If you are ever in Charlotte, you should look up a restaurant

called "The Dish"

It has become a favorite of ours.

Their food is "southern comfort food."

I love the country fried steak.

Every entree comes with a deviled egg, 

they have the usual southern sides like

collard greens and grits as well as

mashed potatoes and other veggies.

And their soups?  To die for!

Here is a picture of Aunt Marilyn showing her new ring

that she got while we were shopping at Kohl's.

Our 2nd evening there we ate at a Mexican restaurant 

then went back to Aunt Marilyn's to have some homemade 

strawberry ice cream that Monica made for us.

We had a lovely time visiting and hope to be visiting again soon.

There is a lot to do in the Charlotte area,

but since she is will be 92 at the end of the month,

we don't get out to do much more than shop with Aunt Marilyn.

She is a doll though and years ago we used to visit some of

the other "sites" in the area.

Places like the Biltmore Estate and the

North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro.

There is also the amusement park, Carowinds.

If you are there around Christmas time a trip to

McAldenville, Christmas Town USA 

is something to see with it's 375 Christmas trees.

Bright and early on Sunday morning we were up and on our 

way back home.

We were greeted by this beautiful sunrise.

I'm not a morning person, by any stretch of the word,

well, not unless I've been up all night!  LOL!

I must say it was nice to see this beautiful sunrise though.

We made good time and were home for dinner with our son and

his girlfriend by about 6:00 p.m.

So there you go!

That's the end of our Charlotte/Charleston trip.

I hope you have enjoyed hearing a little bit about 

a couple of our favorite places to visit in the south.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon.
