We're in Charlotte!

This is our first night here in the "Queen City" of North Carolina.

We ate breakfast at the airport about 8:30 this morning. Our flight finally left at noon, and we were at the hotel by 4:00. We were so hungry! We knew if we stayed at the hotel for any length of time we would fall asleep, so off we went in search of some dinner.

We walked around down town for a while getting a feel for where things were at, and when we started walking down where the restaurants were, we ran into a bike race. Of course, all the eateries were on the other side of the street and everything was blocked off. We finally made our way to the other side and found a place called Zinc. We sat out on the patio, and it was so pleasant. The bike race was going on behind us, so there were a lot of people out on the patio and walking on the sidewalk. The atmosphere was really friendly.

And the food!!! It was so good. Dan got an Angus burger with mushrooms and swiss with a side of truffle infused cheesy tater tots...wow! I got a turkey burger with bacon and avacado with a side of hand cut fries seasoned with pepper, sea salt, and a sprinkling of cheese.

Here are a few photos...

Ummm...I better explain the first one. This was when we first came upon the race and were a little taken aback by the theme (yes, that says booty), but I couldn't help the photo op!!! hehehe
