South Jersey Fun…. NOT!!!

I’m going to expand my blog to include other states. The first on my list is North Carolina. It’s a very pretty state with lots of thing to see and do. I’ve been to Charlotte… It’s fitting since my first name is Charlotte! I’ve been to the NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway (before the name was changed to Lowe’s Motor Speedway).

Paramount’s Carowinds Water and Theme Park is a 105 acre water and theme park.

Charlotte Nature Museum is a child-oriented nature museum that features numerous hands-on exhibits that relate to natural history, as well as a live animal room, a puppet theatre, and a scenic nature trail.

Historic Rosedale Plantation was once part of a 911 acre plantation, this magnificent manor house is one of the best examples of Federalist architecture in North Carolina and is a National Register Landmark. The house has been beautifully restored to its original character with three of the rooms featuring the French wallpaper that was used when the house was built. The house is also surrounded by eight acres of beautiful gardens and grounds.

There are theaters, museums and more for you to do. You can even find a charlotte cosmetic dentist if you happen to need one.

While you’re traveling you can keep up to date on the latest traffic conditions by tuning into your car radio. Lots of cities have radio stations that will keep you up to date on conditions on the road. This will help you to avoid that semi truck accident, road construction and other accidents that will leave you sitting on the road for hours. Traveling in traffic can be very stressful and anything that can make ease the stress will make your trip so much smoother.

Take frequent breaks to get out of your car and stretch, walk, eat and most importantly sleep. Your body and mind will thank you.

When you’re traveling it’s always best to have a first aid kit with you. Below is a list of the things you should really have.
