Charlotte

I baby-sat two of my favorite kids on Friday night that I haven't seen since I think before Thanksgiving. It was great to see them again. Instead of leaving from Raleigh this meant I was leaving from Youngsville.

I was up early and left shortly after the girls woke up. I arrived in Charlotte just in time for lunch and it was a good thing because I was starving. Cameron asked me where I wanted to go and in my search for penguin items I had found that Charlotte has a place called The Penguin Drive-in There was a wait to get in. It gets great reviews. I wanted to go just because it had penguin in the name. The food was great. I had a penguin patty melt and we shared fried pickles. It is the first diner that I have ever been to that served alcohol. After the week I had I decided to give something a try...Sex in the Penguin. It was yummy!

We then shopped till we dropped and finished the day with a pedicure. Lunch was so filling we weren't really in the mood for dinner but a few hours later we met up with Cameron's husband and friend and went to On the Border for dessert. We ended up getting appetizers instead and were too full for dessert. The night ended watching you tube videos and talking some more. You should look on you tube for Jacks films and Glozell. Hilarious. Watch the wtf blanket first.

Sunday we woke up and headed to Ruby Tuesday's for their 4 course brunch. Jon and I have been wanting to try it but just haven't made it there yet. Cameron and I are basically twins and we got the same thing. Steak and eggs. It started with the best sweet biscuits then a oatmeal parfait with fruit sauce, and followed by dessert which we both chose cheesecake with blackberry sauce. It was so yummy and I was so full I may never eat again.

Cameron took me to The Owl's Eye Winery next. We tried 8 wines I think and there were only 2 that weren't high on my list. I ended up buying a bottle of Niagra and Tweyelight. The Tweyelight had a cool bottle and the label is blue. It is a blend of Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc. For a person that is not a big fan of Chardonnay or Pinot I absolutely loved their wine. I have to go back and buy more the next time I am in Charlotte or try and see if they sell it here. Don't they have the coolest logo?

Cameron has one less pet than we do and they are no less cuter. I got to meet Wolfwood, Jewel, Knight, and Neko. If Cameron wouldn't of killed me or Jon divorced me I would have taken all of them home with me. I used to pet-sit for a greyhound and I forgot how much I liked them. They are sweet, soft, and gentle giants. Wolfwood approved of me also. He didn't bark at me except for when I entered and he didn't get too excited and pee on me. He even got close for a few pets on the head.

It was a fun trip and a big thanks to Cameron and her husband for having me. :-)
