Mommy, Daddy, Ella and I took our first big trip together. We went to Charlotte North Carolina for Spring Break. We did some really fun things. On the way to Charlotte, we stopped in and visited with Mrs. Linda and Big Eddie Potts. I helped her arrange flowers for a big party she was having at her house on Friday. Mommy helped Mrs. Linda with her party on Friday while Dad, Ella and I hung out in the hotel. On Friday afternoon, we went to the Concord Mills Mall and Mommy helped me pick out some new school clothes and bathing suits. On Saturday we spent the day at Carowinds. What fun I had. We got to see Dora the Explorer, Boots the Monkey and Diego. We also saw Sponge Bob and his friends. I rode on Dora's Azuel Train, the sponge bob boats, boots ballon ride, the back yardagans swings, the helacopers, the scoobydoo haunted house, and the carosel. We had so much fun. We didn't get to do everything but we ended the day with a trip to the top of the needle. We could see all of Charlotte, Fort Mill and Rock Hill from up there. I wasn't scard at all! On Saturday night we went out to supper with the Putnam Family at Chiles. I was so glad to meet them all at the same time. I had met Mr. Andy a few times when he and my Daddy did things. It was one of the first times I got to meet Mrs. Anne. She wore a really pretty scarf . She and my Mommy enjoyed catching up with each other. Shelby is 8 and she likes lip gloss and finger nail polish just like me. Merritt is 5 and he had a loose tooth. Katie is a freshman in highschool. She is very responsible, makes all A's in her honors classes at school and wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Nathan is a senior in High school. He just got accepted to the Citadel and is waiting to hear back from the Merchant Marine Academy. Shelby and I really bonded and made several bathroom trips durring dinner. As all girls know...that is where real friendships are made. Shelby definately wants me to come back to visit her so we can play. On Sunday we got up and went to the Discovery Museum in down town Charlotte. I was facinated by the tall buildings. We saw the Deep See Movie in the IMAX theatre. We also saw a great exhibit about candy and sugar. They had a BIG tounge set up that we could jump on. There were also some really neat jumping magnets. I had a great time on my spring break trip but I was glad to get home Sunday night.
