On Monday we took the train uptown and had lunch and went to the Imaginon Library. Very cool, never been there before. Mostly we went as a way for Darnell and I to test out whether we wanted to take the train or drive to the Bon Jovi concert later this month. We tried to trick the kids into thinking in was an exciting outing, but they didn't buy it and they concluded that we were lame.
Wednesday we went to Carowinds for the first time this season. We rode the new Intimidator roller coaster, and Sam has awarded it his highest honor of best coaster in the park. Very neat coaster.
Thursday we went on a hike to the peak of Crowders Mountain, and had a semi picnic lunch afterwards. It was a great day for it and I think everyone had fun. I, however, am rethinking my bucket list item of climbing a well known mountain. Now, I never had Mt. Everest in mind or anything, but this was little more than a big hill, and today my shins are killing me. Better start that training now.
Today we finally slept in and are having a day of relaxation. We did venture out to the arcade though.
Now, if you will all pardon me, I'd like to take a moment to tell the person at the Target this afternoon who thought it was acceptable to park his silver Toyota truck lengthwise across three parking spaces that he is a JACKASS!!! For future reference the entire back corner of the parking lot is usually completely open and no one would bother your precious truck. I hold tight to the hope that karma will push one of the abundant wayward shopping carts right into your drivers side door. Oh, and just for the record, putting a shopping cart on the median is not an acceptable return place. Only the shopping cart corral is acceptable people! Let's all work together on this. Thank You.
