Charlotte vs Celtics! (And another Celeb!)

We made our way to Charlotte, North Carolina to bunk up with Rachel's cousin Julie for the last two night. Charlotte is absolutely gorgeous. Pretty suburbs and a very clean, modern looking uptown. Last night...The Celtics were in town! We got some pretty nice seats to watch our hometown team. The Celtics destroyed the Bobcats winning by 18 points. In the 4th quarter we moved closer into the 13th row!

Also before the game we were walking inside the stadium. We passed a booth where people were taking pictures with some dude. I said, "Who is that?" To which Rachel replied... "It's Danny Gokey!" Yes, ladies and gentlemen Danny Gokey from this past season of American Idol. He was about to leave to sing the national anthem but they let us through for one last picture. We told him we had been on the road for 65 days and he was thoroughly impressed. He just couldn't believe it. He definitely wanted to stay and talk to us about our trip, because we are now celebrities, but he had to go get ready to sing. He actually did quite well.

What a fun night we had at the game and a great stay in Charlotte. Now on to Charleston.
