Charlotte


We had a great day in beautiful Savannah. We took a narrated trolley tour (4th generation native) of the historical district which we really enjoyed because our guide was so familiar with the history of Savannah. We enjoyed the 19 city squares as each was a distinct landmark of history. We toured a home Andrew and Juliette Low (founder of the Girl Scouts) and had lunch at the Shrimp House on River Street.

We decided to head to Charlotte a day early because the Nascar race shops would not be open on weekends. I wish I could say our trip to Charlotte was uneventful but it was not. We were about 100 miles out of Charlotte when a tire blew on the 5th wheel. Fortunately we were near an exit and found a good place to park. We now have an appointment on Monday morning to get 4 new tires on the RV. We sure do not want that to happen again.
We did not let that stop our plans. We visited some of the race shops, Lowe's Speedway and had a nice lunch sitting on the deck on Lake Norman. As you can see I was able to see Rouse Fenway and get a photo with Carl's car. Everything is so close around here. We are parked across the street from Lowe's Speedway. Really cool!
