Trips With Tykes is a family travel blog devoted to simplifying the logistics of traveling with kids of all ages. With a little knowledge of airline rules & good planning, family travel can be really rewarding, even if it still involves the occasional battle with TSA over your toddler's juice box. Closer to the center of Charlotte, the Little Sugar Creek Greenway extends almost 4 miles, connecting the Metropolitan Shopping Center, Central Piedmont Community College, and Freedom Park. Lazy 5 also offers horse-pulled wagon rides complete with a guided tour for a slightly higher fee where the rangers educate you on the different animals and the history of the property. The animals are also quite accustomed to these wagons full of visitors, so expect them to come right up to your seat sniffing for your buckets as well.

The royal wore a white dress with red piping and was spotted sharing a sweet father-daughter moment with Prince William, when he placed his hands on her shoulders during the military flypast. Charlotte made an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in London with her siblings and parents to celebrate King Charles' first Trooping the Colour parade on June 17, 2023. The image showed the young princess seated in a floral dress with her hair loose about her shoulders, and it received over 1 million likes on Instagram. Charlotte's last public appearance to date was made on Christmas Day. This was also the last time Princess Kate attended an official event prior to the announcement in March that she is undergoing treatment for cancer.

City services

If the kids still have energy to get out, I recommend simply walking around the mall and stopping at the numerous open play spaces until you get them tuckered out. In addition to the LEGO store, another must-visit is the Bass Pro Shop that also includes amazingly large fish prominently featured throughout the store and free Santa visits during the holidays. One of my favorite activities to do when my kids were toddlers was to visit Concord Mills for the day. We would typically start off the morning when the mall opened at the SEA LIFE Aquarium where kids 2 and under are free. SEA LIFE has an interactive touch pool that is a big hit with the preschoolers, a Sea Turtle Rescue Center, and it also boasts North Carolina’s only Ocean Tunnel.

In episode three of "Queen Charlotte," young Charlotte states she is 17 years old.

Charlotte Magazine calls him “Charlotte’s Dr. History” and named him a 2015 Charlottean of the Year. Read his monthly Charlotte Observer column “Food from Home” about our city's old and new food traditions. The city already had robust local banks, thanks to a North Carolina law that allowed branches statewide. In 1982, banker Hugh McColl at North Carolina National Bank (NCNB) figured out how to buy a small out-of-state bank. The innovation sparked a massive rewriting of banking laws across the nation.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings on the shootout that resulted in four police officers' deaths when a suspect opened fire as U.S. This month, two police officers were killed outside a home near Syracuse, N.Y., during a shootout after they were following up on a traffic violation. “He fought for several hours and passed away from his injuries with his wife and family by his side tonight,” Chief Jennings said in a statement posted to social media on Monday evening. “I am truly grateful for his bravery, service and ultimate sacrifice,” he said. As the police approached the shooter, Chief Jennings told reporters, the officers were met with more gunfire from inside the home.

Marshals task force was serving a warrant at a home Monday in Charlotte, North Carolina, officials said.

Just north of the city, Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson (known as the Lake Norman area – where my family lives!) have experienced tremendous growth and construction too. If you aren’t familiar with the Queen City, here are a few facts to get acquainted. Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and the 15th most populous city in America.

U.S. Marshals Deputy Thomas M. Weeks Jr., 48, of Mooresville, North Carolina, was killed in the shooting, the agency said in a statement. Weeks, a husband and the father of four children, was a 13-year veteran of the Marshals Service. The center is just one of several offerings within the Latta Nature Preserve, which includes Quest Nature Center and numerous hiking and biking trails. Visiting takes about 1-1.5 hours depending on how much your kids want to linger on the trails and at each enclosure. On weekends and at peak periods, center staff also host creative and educational activities along the trail that may take more time. Other particular areas of note in the trails are the McAlpine Creek and Campbell Creek Greenway (located Southeast of the city) as well as the beautiful Town of Matthews segment.

The couple captioned the photo on Instagram, "Wishing Princess Charlotte a very happy birthday! 8 tomorrow," along with a red balloon and birthday cake emoji. The photo shows the princess smiling in a white floral dress while seated in a white wicker chair -- and she's missing a few teeth.

"I know this individual did serve a significant amount of time in jail and had been released," Jenning said during the Tuesday press conference. In February, two police officers and a paramedic were killed near Minneapolis after a man, who was barricaded in his home, opened fire on the police.

A semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, a .40-caliber handgun and additional magazines and ammunition for the weapons were found at the scene. "I have to say I make no apologies for my tears," Lyles said during Tuesday's vigil. "What makes me whole is to be a genuine leader in this community, who’s not afraid to show vulnerability when it’s necessary and needed."

Kids can play firefighter and climb aboard a fire truck, build with blocks and Legos, participate in creative arts and crafts projects, or watch (and even sometimes be in!) a show at Town Center. Discovery Place Kids is located north of the city in a suburb called Huntersville, North Carolina and is the location closest to where my family lives. Concord, North Carolina, located northeast of the city in Cabarrus County, is home to yet another NASCAR attraction – the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Speedway hosts numerous races, most notably the Coca-Cola 600 every Memorial Day weekend.
