On April 8-11th I went to training in Charlotte, North Carolina for work. Luckily I traveled with two work friends, Evelyn Owen and Tim Lewis, who both like the idea of seeing the sites. Of course I had to find the public library...
We visited some of the the churches and cemeteries downtown. We thought there would be more historical sites, but instead we found more historical markers, than actual sites.
This tree in the cemetery was planted and dedicated to the visit of General George Washington in 1791.
I also found a Gillespie grave stone from the 1800's.
The weather was so nice that we just kept walking and walking...
we saw the federal building and
and the Carolina Panther's Stadium.
We also enjoyed a free tour of the Mint Art Museum...
and took some funny pictures.
A restaurant we ate at had a corn hole game that we made sure we played and...
Tim scratched his first lottery ticket. Unfortunately, he did not win.
Our last stop was at the Wells Fargo Museum. We found this thing that would put your face on confederate money and as you can see we had a lot of fun!
We had a great trip and the training was very insightful!
After walking about 15 miles over the trip we went home very sleepy. So thankful I work with people I enjoy!
Thanks Evelyn and Tim!
