Saturday although a bit on the chilly side, was an ideal day for a mini-road trip, so we bundled up… or rather I bundled up, and we headed up to Davidson. For those of you who aren’t from the area, it’s just north of Charlotte, North Carolina.

After lunch we made one other stop in town to pick up the bird we’ve been making payments on all year (another post coming later) and I spied this cute one as well…
Before heading to our next location, we drove around a few of the neighborhoods in Davidson that we hadn’t been through before. (We are always checking out future home possibilities whenever we travel.)
Our next stop was Dutchman’s a casual living store located just up the road from Davidson in Cornelius, North Carolina.
