December Vacation Charlotte

We pretty much were on vacation the entire month of December.  We hit the road on the 10th and we drove the entire thing.  Just over 5000 miles were spent in the car traveling to the east and south coasts.  We had a lot of fun.

We saw a lot of sleeping kiddos.  The most beautiful sight!


We had an episode of vomit everywhere on the first night.  People, it's not fun having a motion sick child.  Dramamine kids every 7 hours has worked for the rest of the trip.


We made it to North Carolina!

Dec 11th-14th were spent in Charlotte, NC.  We stayed at the Residence Inn next to the stadium.  It was the most uncomfortable hotel bed I've ever been in!  The hotel and staff were nice though.  We had tickets to the Panthers game that Sunday and we're wanting to retire in the area so it was a perfect opportunity to check out the area communities of where we might want to settle down.  We both fell in love with Weddington, NC.  We also took our Saturday and drove up to Winston Salem to visit our friend and her kids.  So much fun.

On Friday we walked over to the Discovery Place.  We got in for free because of our museum pass in NE.  Kids loved discovering everything.  Although I felt a lot of it was over their heads because it was a science center and they are only toddlers.  They still had fun and that's what our outing was for.

On Saturday we headed up to Winston Salem to visit our friends!  It was so nice to catch up and let the kids play. 

On Sunday we had tickets to the Panther's game.

I love this picture of Xander.  He's all about posing with his hand on his hips and his feet crossed in. 

Kids got tattoos on their cheeks.

We sat in the nose bleed section.  

 

Packed house! 

In the end, Panther's took the win! 

Such a fun start to the vacation!
