A Southern Getaway

This Thanksgiving I visited my parents in Shelby North Carolina. Shelby is an adorable little town less than an hour away from Charlotte NC. A southern getaway is a perfect stress realiver. Below is a sneak peak into my 2011 Thanksgiving and pictures to inspire your southern vacation adventure.

My first day exploring was spent driving down back roads to Greenville SC. Our destination was the city’s Falls Park. A beautiful park with a great waterfall located in the heart of the city.

My husband and I enjoyed lunch at the Lazy Goat, a cool spot overlooking the water. The food, service and prices were great. I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the water and a bit of Southern people watching.

My parents showed us this eclectic little diner with a small museum inside. We stopped there for a few refreshments and I have to say the place had some of the best people watching ever. If you’re into Southern accents you’ll have happy ears visiting Bantam Chef Chesnee Restaurant

The last day of our trip my husband and I drove into Charlotte to explore Discovery Place, an interactive science museum for all ages. This place was amazing and extremely affordable!  Click Here to See Their Current Prices. If you’re a big kid then you’ll enjoy investigating your skin under a microscope, petting snakes, creating snap-shot animations, laying on nails and much more.
