Queen's Feast Fit for Queens

 Friday nights in the city are usually "date night" for the ladies. Last Friday we decided to take part in the seasonal tasting of Charlotte's best, "Queen's Feast".

The reunion of old and new was located at the Palm Restaurant.



As you can see we had a variety of tasty entrees to choose from, all for - guess what?? - $30!! 

Look out for the next deal to come soon to Charlotte !!!  bon appetit

Africa Umoja

We went to the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center on a Tuesday to see Africa Umoja, a show about the history of South Africa. The story begins in the tribal lands with an old man telling the story of his childhood, and his love for his homeland. Women and men joined in lively dances, and sang tribal songs. The show only got better from there!







We were taken from the tribal lands to the city of Sophiatown where jobs were abundant, and the singing and new dances continued... but they were accompanied with newfound oppression and hardships. Our narrator took us through the many emotions of the people... from the women of the village singing their songs of loneliness, to the men doing the "Gumboot" dance to get through the long days working in the mine. 

Africa Umoja expressed the heartache of apartheid, however, it also expressed hope for the future, and the longing for change. This lively musical is sure to be one that you and your family will enjoy! This group is in town until July 28 at the Belk Theater. Don't miss this uplifting experience! Get your tickets here! Tickets start at $15.

Daddy's Day Out...Ideas and Fun for the Summer

So for all you girls out there and boys too that are, "Daddys Girls" and "Dads your Hero", here are some fun activities that me and my sister decided to do for Fathers Day....

We started out with dinner and kept it masculine not going to your typical "fancy", "upscale restaurants". My idea was to keep the "dad" theme going so we went to Bad Daddy's Burgers in "Ballantyne".


After that it was all in at Pineville's Adventure Land. We had hours of fun playing games like Golf, Water Bumper, Go Karts, and more.

Check out the recap !!
