One last week...


Ah Summer 2015...it was nice knowin' ya. It's almost time for backpacks and lunchboxes, bus rides and LOTS of paperwork. One last week (for 2 of my 3, with one back to the books on Tuesday) of "fun in the sun", pools, popsicles, and staying up past bedtime. Lots of ways to celebrate "The End" of summer this week in Charlotte (including Carowinds...this is the last week that it's open during the week). Don't miss out.

Blessings,
