We loved the old restored brick, with black iron and the green trees.
It was an old abandoned tobacco wharehouse area that was recently restored. The place is neat, however the Mexican restaurant we ate at in Brightleaf Square
was not nearly as good as the ones in San Diego. Next time we hit up Brigthleaf Square we'll try a different place to eat! There are free concerts too outdoors every Friday night.
The next day on Saturday we went to Falls Lake near us to go swimming! Falls Lake was only 11-12 minutes to drive to from our house, including stoplights, etc so it is really close! It is a big lake with three separate swimming beach areas. We went to one and had a lot of fun hanging out at the beach and swimming.
Colleen says it reminded her of being a kid again and swimming at the lakes in New Hampshire.

On Sunday we went for a hike on the Greenway Trail around Shelley Lake
which is only 1 mile from our house. We took Kylie with us too.
She enjoyed the part where we went next to a stream that she could jump in!
We walked the trail around the lake
The even have a boat house and dock where you can put in a canoe, kayak, etc. We really want to get a canoe so we can just go over to our neighborhood lake and paddle around!
And we saw a whole family of geese (which Kylie really wanted to chase)
And after we got back Kylie did her favorite thing: drink from the garden hose!
Then Sunday night we went to Goodberry's to get some frozen custard, just like we did when Jim lived in St Louis!
Wow, that lake looks a lot bigger in your pictures than it does on the map!
