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,

Until next Family Friday Fun,
