Day: May 25, 2016

Today we went to the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte.  The USNWC’s 1100 acres offers a wide variety of outdoor activities for all ages and skill levels. Guests can enjoy whitewater rafting and kayaking, flatwater kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, rock climbing, zip lines, ropes courses, a canopy tour, and mountain biking on our 25+ mile trail system.  It’s an awsome place to visit!

 Here we both are on the Zip line!  I’m the one waving to Bill!

And, here we are rafting.  I’m the one in the wall!  Bill did awsome!  I didn’t!

This facility is where the olympians train as well.  While there we had some lunch and refreshment while we watched other rafters go by.

Bill decided to try his luck at rock climbing.

He started out with the most difficult ledge to climb and did great!!

After our day on the courses, we met Pam at “Shiki Four Seasons Restaurant” in Mooresville.  Had an awsome suppah and brought home leftovers as well!

  Back at the RV….. Bill is still having his fun with “Thunder, Boots & Lucky” while I helped Pam with some special cards she’s making!    So, that was our day!  Ray-Ray will be back tomorrow.  Looking forward to seeing him again.  He leaves this weekend to join millions of other motorcycle riders at “Rolling Thunder ~ Ride for Freedom” in Washington D.C.  Won’t see him once he leaves as we hit the road again early Monday morning for our trek further north.

P.S. For all you gullible folks who were excited to see Bill and I zipping and rafting …. we “didn’t” do any of that!  Still have fear and needed more encouragement.  Just kidding y’all!  Maybe next time!!  🙂

 

We started the day yesterday by going to Team Penske garage. This is home to Joey Logano, Brad Keslowski, Kurt Busch and David Blaney. They have an overhead catwalk where you can walk above the garage area and watch the mechanics work.

Our next stop was Kyle Busch Motorsports.  Home to Kyle Busch only. He is another grandson’s favorite driver.

This one truck we saw at KBM was in need of a tire fix ! Who woulda thought that ?!

While in our travel today, we went to a Big Lots store and ,,, this little friend jumped in my cart!!

We returned back to the RV and Ray’s neighbor brought over some fresh turnips just dug from his garden! He had planted them in March!!  Can’t wait to eat ’em!
