Charlotte

Today we spent the day hanging around Charlotte, North Carolina. In the morning we went to Smelly Cat Coffee (for Kerri) so we could do some blogging. It’s in the NoDa neighborhood of Charlotte which is a really cool, artsy area.

For breakfast(10:30am) we had some fried chicken at Price’sChicken Coup. We shared a half chicken and it came with tater rounds, hush puppies, cole slaw and a roll. I don’t want to lose credibility by always saying things are the BEST we’ve ever had. But it really was. THE BEST. The inside was so juicy and the outside was so crispy, it was perfection. They don’t have seats inside so we had to eat in the car since it’s our home at the moment. But I think even if we had a home that fried chicken never would have made it too far beyond the car. We spent the rest of the afternoon going in and out of antique shops and exploring downtown.

Our last stop was The Olde Mecklenberg Brewery which is a German style brewery. We got samplers of their 4 beers, all of which were easy drinking and great for a hot day. We made some friends with a couple that moved to Charlotte from New York and they gave us a lot of tips for the rest of our trip while Larry played cornhole with their son.
