U.S. National Whitewater Center

-
I hope all the lovely mothers reading this had a lovely day on Sunday, and to all the momma's in Mexico reading this I want to wish you a happy day today.
My brother and Sister in law are really into sports, so while we were visiting them in Charlotte my sister in law took us to the US National Whitewater Center. She thought it would fun for us to do some of the activities they have available there, they have a trail, where you can bike, walk or run in, other activities like rafting, zip lining, a climbing center, and rope courses.
We were interested in trying the rope courses, but we made it right before closing so didn't get to do that, instead we walked the trail and did a mini rope course, and it was pretty fun for us and the kids. 
We actually visited the center on the same day we visited the James K. Polk historic site (after taking a quick stop at home to grab a bite to eat).
I was a little surprised to see the lake without any water to be honest, but I guess it makes sense since it was winter.
We left right as the sun was setting, so that made for some beautiful pictures, those of you who were following me on snapchat (back then) got to see some of these views already!

Address: 5000 Whitewater Center Pkwy

Hi!  I started using essential oils for sleep support over two years ago. But I only joined Young Living last year! I bought a set of 12 essential oils and diffused them all over the house. How I Started:  My friend Courtney offered a free roller to anyone who wanted to try them, I tried out a sleep roller.. then a couple of months later she hosted a try before you buy, so I tried two additional ones and I bought my kit shortly after -talk about hooked.  Don’t be discouraged if you're feeling skeptical at first; I was too!  Background on Young Living : They are the first essential oils company, and they’ve been around for more than 25 years! Young Living has a Seed To Seal promise– basically stating they provide quality through extensive testing. They seed, cultivate, distill, test and seal each bottle of oil at their very own farms!

Yo quierooo!!  2. unas entomatadas de atún A mi me gusta guisarlo a la mexicana, fries cebolla, jitomate y chiles verdes, le agregas el atún, dejas que todo se impregne y eso lo utilizó para el relleno de los chiles o para comer en taquitos. 3.  Pay de atún   Mi familia lo guisaba así: aceite de oliva, pimiento morrón (rojo o amarillo pa que se vea más bonito y salga dulce), aceitunas (verdes o negras), pasas (poquitas) y una varita de canela. Bien guisado a que se integren los sabores.  Ya ese relleno lo usas para la receta de pasta para el pay que más te guste.  4. Pizza con atun Una pizza con atún, piña y maíz. 5. Empanadas de atun Empanadas de hojaldre con atun!! Basicamente  empanadas fritas de atun! Está super fácil de hacer y riquísimas!
