When I travel out of state for weddings or any other functions, I make it a point of duty to explore the city. After paying for a flight and hotel, it is not enough for me to only attend the event I came for. I want to get my money's worth and see other parts of the city too. So last summer, when I had the opportunity to visit North Carolina for a family function, I immediately started making plans to maximize the time I had in Charlotte. I only had about 36 hours and I wasn't able to see a lot, but I had fun with the little that I saw.

I touched down in North Carolina at about noon, and after getting our rental and checking into the hotel, a stroll in streets of Uptown Charlotte followed.

| There are many cool wall paintings in Uptown Charlotte and this smiling face was the first one I posed with |
 |
| Then did my thing with Elvis |
 |
| My tush may not be as big, but thought i'd imitate this pretty wall painting ;) |
Soon it was lunch time, and we headed to Epic Centre to get our grub on
The next morning, my cousin and I hit the eclectic and artsy neighborhood of North Davidson (NoDa). Although we got there too early, we were able to soak some vibe of the historic arts district
 |
| Color! There was color everywhere in NoDa |
 |
Red + Blue = Purple
|

How cute :-)
|
 |
| Definitely no shortage of color in NoDa |
 |
| Then we came across this cool wall mural |
On our way back to Uptown Charlotte, on North Tryon St, we came across this color block wall, and of course I jumped out of the car to take some shots.

How fun is this wall
|
Have a great weekend guys! |
