We left around 730pm Sunday night and this girl was up past 11! Shes a pretty good traveler anymore. She finally crashed and this picture was around 2am. We arrived in Charlotte around 530am EST and we were able to nap until 930am! We spent the rest of the day lounging around our room and relaxing.
That evening we went to eat at a soul food place downtown called Mert's. This was the highlight of our trip!! They had the BEST food and our server was AMAZING!! We ordered an appetizer of "soul rolls".. These were like egg rolls but they had black eyed peas, collard greens, cabbage, and chicken.. Yum! Before we tried them my MIL said "I don't eat black eyed peas" and after she sampled it she wanted more lol!
Jarrod wasn't able to explore the city BC he was in meetings but that didn't stop us! We visited Concord Mills, the 3rd largest shopping mall in NC. We were exhausted by the end of the trip lol. They had a mini aquarium that we took G to and she absolutely loved it.
So our last day in Charlotte we went to a place called Discovery Place. It was like a science museum for children. They has a water room and she loved it!
We decided to head to the mountains Wednesday night and stay in Cherokee. Graceyn loved saying "go to mountains". We were only there long enough to eat, sleep, and leave before we headed to Gatlinburg for the night.
We went to the Ripleys Aquarium while there (sensing an aquatic theme??). Graceyn loved it too and her daddy was able to share in her excitement! She also found her new love of penguins....
And lastly, Baby #2 has decided to make its presence known...
This almost 19 week bump is much bigger than when I was the same with Graceyn...
Blessed.
