Friends and Tacos

When we travel to New York or Connecticut, we always try to see as many family and friends as possible.

“Come On-A My House”

I love eating out and trying different restaurants in Charlotte.

Kitchen Sink Pizza Night

Nowadays, as we are constantly preparing to sell our house, I am always looking for ways to use up what we have stored in our pantry and refrigerator.

Welcome to my new blog!

I like to think this blog is an improved version of my old one, Bottles of Hamburgers.  I’ve transferred much of the content from the other site to this one.

Adventures in Charlotte

VW Show, May 2012

Another reason I started this blog was to share happenings in Charlotte.  My hope is to let people in Charlotte know what’s fun to do and give people that might come visit an idea of what to do besides what’s listed on sponsored websites.  While I do believe that you can find great things to do by searching the internet, I think we can all agree that a local can give you recommendations for things that you wouldn’t ordinarily experience.  I think writing about Charlotte will also hold me accountable for getting out and trying new things that I’ve been putting off for the last 5 years.
