On a bit of a whim (a whim for us is anything that is not carefully and deliberately planned out far in advance) the kids and I decided to take a trip to VA over Spring Break to spend time with the Deagles. As it turns out, airfare to VA was great, but the return trip way out of budget, so we opted instead for 5 tickets on Amtrak from Richmond, VA to Charlotte, NC, where Chuck met up with us for a 24 hour visit to the city. We thoroughly enjoyed it! After arriving on Friday night, we checked into our hotel and just spent a couple of hours walking around the city, watching a street magician, seeing the stadium where our friend, Mr. Ben, plays footbal, and grabbing a bite to eat. Saturday, we played at the Discovery Museum, caught a matinee of Stomp at the theater downtown (uptown??), and stopped in for a brief visit at Billy Graham's homeplace and museum. We were able to pack a lot into a few hours, but decided that it would be well worth a trip back.
A sure sign of a full trip and a fun time had by all!
