Looking for some fun with the family, without the video factor?! Always a favorite is going to the live theatre. Madagascar is coming to the Durham Performing Arts Center this weekend. I wish it were here for a longer stretch, I hope many folks can get there.
Our entire family really enjoys DPAC, they really do an awesome job of promoting culture other than video/media! The facility is state of the art and is really a spectacular building. I love the fact that CarolinaMama and I are teaching the Tigers the love of the arts through events like Madagascar and Beauty & The Beast!
Hope you can make it out this weekend, if not, be sure to check the schedule of DPAC. There are some big time names & events coming soon!
Do you enjoy the live show? Hope to see you there! Hope this helps with some fun family ideas for your weekend time together.
Until next Family Friday Fun,

Need a Week to Spend in Charlotte, NC (Friday Family Fun Day)
CarolinaMama, the Tigers & I had the pleasure of spending a 24+ hour period of time in Charlotte, NC and the surrounding area. It is amazing how much there is to do in that awesome city.
You can start with hanging out downtown, there are a lot of local restaurants with great food & atmosphere. The Carolina Panthers play in downtown Charlotte, what a beautiful stadium they have built there. Don't forget you could spend the day at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
I discovered what looks like an awesome museum. Carolinas Aviation Museum They are running a special right now, $40 for a Family Membership. It is good for unlimited visits for a year. It is right off the end of one of the runways of Charlotte's super busy Charlotte Douglas Airport! I have to say, they have my all time favorite on display, the F-14 Tomcat.

I am going to say how much I enjoyed with the Tigers Crowder's Mountain State Park, it was great to be on a little bit of a hill again. This was about 45 minutes away, to the west. To the east: Concord, NC. I will write some more about what a fun city Charlotte is another time. As per the title, a full week still may not be enough!
How about you? Plans to visit Charlotte anytime soon! Have a great week! Until next Friday Family Fun Day,
