Charlotte NC

Well we made it to Charlotte this afternoon, the 28th. Charlotte is the Washington of the South and is a very busy city. Deadly traffic; high speed travel and quite nerve wracking for me. I drove some of the way here and was in a sweat when I turned the driving back to Mike.

We got here too late to go to the Hall of Fame so we will do that tomorrow. We plan to have an early breakfast, go to the Hendrick Motorsport shops and also to DEI if we have a chance. Then a few hours at the HOF which should be fun. Charlotte seems to be all about racing and there are many places you can go here to get your fill.

Tonight there was a tornado threatening the south and we had very heavy rain and thunder. It felt like rain since we got here. There are flowers in bloom all over Charlotte and trees that are covered in tiny pink blossoms. Very beautiful. We did a bit of shopping at the local Kohl's and I decided it was too soon to think about buying anything although there were dozens of interesting things.

Wilma texted that they are in Jacksonville tonight. They take their place tomorrow. We have lots of time and will be at Bonnie and Peter's on the 4th and then to Davenport.

That's about it for day 4. Tomorrow is just tourist things. Mike is asleep already and I think this easy day was good for him. He got his Sirius going this afternoon. My new GPS is easy to use and getting us where we want to be. So far it's all good.

Thanks for stopping in and more as we go.
