I Hit Rock Bottom on Saturday Before Taking Charlotte by Horse!
It’s been years since I went to the city of Charlotte, NC. A friend invited me to go with him to see Lion King at the Blumenthal Theatre downtown. He got the tickets months ago, the day they went on sale.
We left at three for the eight o’clock show. Since I was driving and neither of us were very familiar with the area and I was driving, I wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to find the place and get a bite before the show.
Yahoo directions took me right to it and we were there by five, parked, and walking the streets of Charlotte.
I didn’t remember it being as nice a place downtown as it was. We maneuvered our way through some of the streets before we decided it was time for dinner.
I had done my research about restaurants downtown and we visited many of their storefront menus before deciding to hit rock bottom – and I do mean literally. We decided to eat at a restaurant by that name…The Rock Bottom Restaurant. The menu was great and the food was even better.
We finished around 6:45 and out the door we went.
It was a little early to get to the theatre so we walked some.
“Could it be that I see a cowboy in downtown Charlotte?†I said as we approached a cowboy hat and boots clad man.
He was there with his horse and had a carriage rig attached.
Now my friend had never been on a carriage ride before and I knew it. We had time and I said “Let’s do something crazy….ride around Charlotte in a carriage!â€
We did just that.
I didn’t have any idea Charlotte had such lovely homes so close to downtown. It was an eye-opening experience…a great way to see other parts of the city, and it didn’t hurt that a cowboy was showing us around.
You probably know how much I like to hang around cowboys.
We got back in time to get to our Lion King seats and see a magnificent play…
It was a memorable evening!
My wish for you today is that you savor moments in life and be as spontaneous as you will let your self be. You may be in for a great time if you do.
