Days 33 & 34: Friends in Charlotte

These last two days have been spent with our good friends, Nanda & Matt.  Mike & I went to UO with Matt & since him & his beautiful wife now live in Charlotte, we don't get to see them very often.  We were thrilled that they were able to host us & even more excited that Bailey & their two adorable pups, Mel & Gordon have been getting along so well.  It's been non-stop puppy time here & we all couldn't be happier, or more tired.

Day 33: "Uptown" Charlotte, NC.  Charlotte is nothing that I would've expected--a clean, modern town in the middle of  a endless forest of Sweetgums & Live Oaks that make up the Deep South.

Day 34: US National Whitewater Center, Charlotte, NC.  This is a playground for adults!!  The largest man-made recirculating whitewater river in the world, the center has tons of activities for people of all ages.  We spent the morning kayaking & stand-up paddle boarding,  then finished it off by jumping off a 50 foot tower & zip-lining 1100 feet over the rapids.  (Yes, I participated in it all--I can keep up with the guys!)  I only wish we had more time to do the ropes course!  Unfortunately I'm probably going to be really sore tomorrow...
