Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! If you’ve never visited my site before, hi! I’m Alli! I hope you’re having a wonderful first week of May! I took a weekend road trip to North Carolina a few weeks ago and I’m here to tell you all about our adventures! I hope you enjoy!
I went with one of my best friends, Elyse, to her family’s lake house at Lake Norman and it was so much fun! We got to the house on Thursday night, so we had the whole weekend ahead of us to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. We spent most of our time laying out on the dock and exploring the shopping area that’s right around the lake. I was surprised at how much of a small town feel Lake Norman has considering there’s so much to do right around where the house is!
The weather was gorgeous on Friday and we got a good amount of sun to start the summer off right. It was so nice to lay out on the dock and watch all the people who were boating and jet-skiing to kick off the warm weather! Since it was so early in the season, there weren’t too many people around so that made it nice and peaceful to be able to spend the weekend away from the stress of school. Later that day, we headed to a little shopping area and grabbed dinner at a little hibachi place. We rented the movie Sully from Redbox and it was really good! I’d definitely recommend watching it if you’re having a night in.
On Saturday, we started off the day by heading to Davidson, a little town that’s only about twenty minutes from where we were staying. There was a little festival/farmer’s market going on when we got there so we couldn’t of visited at a better time! There were so many cute little stands with art and fruit and jewelry! The shops along the main street in Davidson were so cute too, we loved walking through them and looking at all the lake souvenirs. While we were walking through the market, we came across a flower stand and they were selling the biggest, most beautiful bouquets for only $20! It’s the best money I’ve ever spent – they are still standing tall in my apartment now!
Unfortunately, Sunday was the day we had to head home and get back to our responsibilities. I loved visiting Lake Norman – I hope I’ll get to go again in the future! Have you ever been? Let me know in the comments below! See you next week!
