wednesday 7.31 ~ we had dinner in the arts district at cabo fish taco- delicious.

thursday 8.1 ~ we walked to brunch at zada jane’s cafe, enjoyed happy hour at whiskey warehouse (with the now 21 year olds- yay!!) and then tailgated & rocked out at the kenny chesney concert that night…

friday 8.2~ i was yearning for an active day so we walked to rent bikes and did a ‘bike, boutiques, bakeries, and brews tour’ around charlotte… it was a great time!!

then we went to the n.c music factory to a bier garden, followed by a lot of laughing with tom arnold at the comedy zone~ he was fantastic!!

*we finished the night poppin a lil bubbly- lots to celebrate these days.

saturday 8.3~ their fifth anniversary- 🙂 we started the day with a trip to starbuck’s, spent the day at the national whitewater center where we went whitewater rafting, had lunch, and drank some beers- that evening, we went to chima – an amazing brazilian steakhouse- and then danced the night away at irish pubs in uptown – loved.
