So, we started the trip in Charlotte. Dex and Jess and Elliott took us around town to see some sights. We had lunch at Price's Chicken Coop. It's kinda crazy there-if you order a chicken sandwich, they take two pieces of chicken, on the bone (like if you ordered it from KFC) and slap it on a bun, wrap it up and hand it to you.
This is us eating our Price's lunch at Freedom Park in Charlotte. It was Elliott's first picnic (yea, us!). That was a beautiful and huge public park-very family friendly. Darwin's chowing down on his barbecue and savoring his Sweet Tea. Yes, Dar discovered Sweet Tea and that is the ONLY thing he drank for the rest of the trip.
That's downtown Charlotte. The tallest building there is the Bank of America building. We learned that Charlotte is full of Bank of Americas and Shell gas stations. We never ran out of money or gas.
They also took us out of the city and up to the Latta Plantation. That's the house-circa 1800. It was Elliott's first plantation.
We then went for a hike on the grounds of the Latta Plantation. It was Elliott's first hike and probably the only hike we went on during the entire trip. The Latta Plantation had a latta land to explore ;)We have a lot more to tell and show from our trip, but I'll give Dar a chance to get a word in. Stay tuned!

Very nice photos. Who took care of the dogs while you were gone? Did they get a vacation at the kennel?
Mickey and Mulan got to stay with Missi's fam and their doggies. We heard that they were complete angels and that they are more than welcome to visit any time they want!
