Random Trip To Charlotte

So this past Thursday, we decided to make a random trip to Charlotte to pay the parentals, Ashley, and the Russians a visit. We left on Thursday and came back yesterday (Monday). We made the 8 hour drive there and back. On Friday, we all went shopping of course! What else is there to do in Charlotte!! We were successful on our hunt for Addison a new bedspread. Yes, its true folks, we bought Addie a BIG GIRL BED last week. She has not been sleeping very well on the crib mattress, she is either on the floor or in bed with mom and dad. And it has to STOP! So we broke down and bought her a big girl bed in HOPE that she will sleep in it. Therefore we found the cutest bedspread for her. Pictures will be coming soon...

Saturday we made it out to the SmootHall Farm. We spent the whole day out there, 4-wheeling and shooting guns. Mike got to shoot his new gun, the Russian M44 (or something like that). And of course he made me shoot it...and I did NOT want to shoot it! But I did for him, and can I say OUCH! That stupid thing is LOUD and has the hardest Kick Back ever!! I have to admit...it was fun to shoot but have no desire to do it again. That night we got to have dutch oven dinner and play games. We had an awesome time as always. Mike's dad and stepmom were able to make the 2 hour trip up from Charleston to the farm to see us and Addison. We were so glad they were able to make it up and see us.

Sunday we went to church and just chilled at home. Then on Monday, Mike, me, Addie, and mom all went to IHOP for breakfast and then it was on our way back home to Jackson. We were so glad we were able to make this trip and are grateful once again, for our parents wonderful hospitality. We are so fortuanate to live close enough to drive home whenever we can.

THANKS AGAIN FAM!! WE WILL BE BACK SOON!!
