Day 264 – Discovery Place

So, I am back in Charlotte!! I came to see my son Brian. Obviously while I’m here I will be spending time with Lindsey and the kids. Since I got in so early this morning and Brian was still at work, Lindsey and I wanted to get together. We went to one of my favorite restaurants, La Patisserie, for lunch and dessert. If this crazy weather wasn’t here (Hurricane Joaquin) oy- we originally were going to go to The Lazy 5 Ranch for my intention. I told Lindsey that I wanted to do something cool with the kids for my blog. She suggested we go to Discovery Place since I have never been there and neither has her youngest, Lilah.

From the second we walked through the door, the kids went nuts! This place is like a kids’ paradise. There are huge butterflies and birds hanging from the ceiling and absolute whimsy everywhere. Then as you go through the two floors there are “pretend” everything. A huge firetruck, ambulance, race car, airplane, a store, art center, pizzeria, farm (we even pretend milked a cow!), theatre (we watched a puppet show that was so cute), bank, garage, construction zone and more.

Although this was geared towards children, Lindsey and I even had a blast (in fact, all the parents appeared to be having a great time).

After we left, we had some girl time and did some shopping which just perfectly wrapped up a truly lovely day. #Cheers #HGAL
