It was so magical...

A Road Trip

to Charlotte

Dubbed "The Queen City," 

after Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III 

(for you history buffs).

Beautiful no matter what time of day.

A charming Southern metropolis.

Beautiful buildings.

Tall buildings.

Intriguing artwork.

Cool sidewalks.

Serenely solitary places.

But as beautiful as the city is...

And as much as I admire its quiet strength and nobility...

It wasn't exactly why

Bethie (my incredible sister),

Joyce (my fantastic friend),

and I decided to visit.

What wondrous adventure brought us to this wondrous city?

I'm so glad you asked.

Well, after getting some fun and silly pictures 

and after getting our Starbuck's

We stepped into the building that we had be anticipating for a  l o n g  time.

 

This is what the outside looks like.

This is the inside--gorgeous.

Why were we visiting? 

Who can resist a broadway musical of one of history's most classic stories?

 

It was fantastic.

The footwork was unbelievable.

The music was charming in every way.

My mind was whirling the rest of the night.

But the day didn't end there.

Afterward, we went to the

!!!!!!!

Amazing atmosphere.

Incredible food.

Needless to say,

we left with smiles on our faces

and in our hearts.
