Charlotte get-a-way

This weekend, Jon and I went on an overnight get-a-way to Charlotte.  Our first choice was camping, but the forecast wasn't too promising, so we chose to gamble with Priceline.

Turns out it was Restaurant Week.  Several restaurants offer Pris Fixe menus to showcase their cuisine.  Our choice.. Copper Indian Cuisine.  It was AH-mazing!  After enjoying some Samosas, we scarfed some duck legs with saffron rice.

We meant to take a picture of the delicious pineapple-cherry kulfi, but we accidentally ate it all first.

We spent the rest of the evening at the NC Music City, touring the campus of Johnson and Wales culinary school, and sitting out by the hotel pool.

After a morning meal at Shoney's (yes, Shoney's. We thought our hotel had complimentary breakfast, but sadly, no, a $17.95/person breakfast buffet instead), we headed downtown for some more strolling and eating.  Lunch was from Harvest Moon which is a local, farm-to-table restaurant with prize-winning entrees like mine.. the pork belly sandwich, and delicious novelties like Jon's.. the sweet potato burger.

We have such satisfied and happy tummies.

The beginning...

This is for the fun things, the hilarious things, the important things, and the serious things that happen to us. It serves as a reminder of all the ways love and life inspire us. It's a collection of the ways we experience Jesus through everyday life, or better said, the ways we get to experience life through Jesus.

We love because he first loved us.  John 4:19

Here's to food, fun, fitness, and folly!
