Tree.
I believe one of the biggest differences between Florida and North Carolina are the trees. NC had the most amazing trees. There was such a variety, some flowering, some waiting patiently for spring time. This tree captivated me. This tree was found on a nature hike Mel, Camilo and I took in Charlotte.
Jump.
I love this picture. I think it's one of my favorites. This image defines why my friends are so much fun.
Cupcake.
Polka Dot Bakery had THE cutest ad in this local women's newspaper. Just based on the ad alone, i was determined to visit. I was slightly disapointed in the decor of this small, somewhat hidden bakery, but honestly, you MUST visit Polka Dot if your ever in town. The cupcakes were exquisite. Very flavorful. Great presentation. Highly recommended!
Friendship.
I have an obsession with houses. Doll Houses. Cottages. I love any home in a sweet spring time color. Honestly, one of my life's goals is to find and buy the perfect "doll house". There were many in NC that came close. This house was definitely a favorite, plus it had a ledge outside it which was perfect for taking timed images. This was my favorite pose when i was in middle school. Quality pose eh?
Church.
I really wanted to take touristy images, but there weren't really any touristy places in Charlotte. There were dozens of beautiful churches though. I wanted to take pictures in front of them waving and such, but they were just to terrible. I like this perspective of the church much better.
Pizza.
Pizza is one of my favorite foods, but honestly, 80% of pizza places suck. We had pizza three times in NC. Fuel pizza had a really cute atmosphere, but the pizza itself wasn't wonderful. We ate at a yummy pizza place (I'm sorry i can't find the name right now) in South End, close to Uptown Charlotte, and i was quite impressed. On the way back from Asheville Camilo and I stopped at the CUTEST town called Black Mountain. [More about Black Mountain later] and had salad and pizza. It was absolutely delicious. The pizza above is from "My Father's Pizza" place in Black Mountain.

awesome shots! I only wish I hadn't been holding that fuze bottle in front of the church.. make me feel dirty, like I was paid for ad placement.. except I wasn't even paid.
Love how you broke the trip down. I think you summed it up pretty nicely, but you left out the bit about the dozens of art/craft galleries we saw. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed them, but I know you thought they were a bit disappointing in general. It seemed that there wasn't anything remarkable or new, with the exception of a couple galleries.. the grove park and that one that we found on the street with our houses were very interesting. We can't forget how nice everyone was too, especially that kind old lady who wanted you to be her daughter.
