Last week Wednesday Chuck arrived on Fulton after two days of driving from Houston to Charlotte. He had a trusty navigator in Ms. Midge (his mom). My favorite story from the trip was the guy in bib overalls, no shirt walking up the interstate in Mississippi. Seriously, stereotypes don't happen without reason.

Let's be honest, working and helping with the unpacking did not go smoothly so I'm glad Chuck had his mom to help him. Development is not dead, people. The apartment was completely moved into (without pictures on the walls) by Friday. I considered that an amazing feat, but remembered back to four years ago when Skippy, John, Mom Jim, and Stacey came to Charlotte and moved me from my house in Mooresville to Fulton. After one weekend, I had a orderly house complete with pictures on the walls, an immaculately clean trash can and awesome fabric cabinets.
The week included a "Meeting of the Moms" at Midwood Smokehouse. We walked there from Chuck's place which makes him feel like he hasn't left The Heights so much.
With only hours left to Ms. Midge's visit, we whipped her around a few spots in Charlotte on our way to the Whitewater Center. Because if it is a nice spring day, lunch at the WWC is the best! (Unfortunately, the frosty mug concept is foreign--but I guess that's hard when in plastic) Below are a few touristy shots.
