Panthers Game - the day after

Well I woke up this morning and double checked the date.  Nope, yesterday was not a nightmare and the Bears really did give up the game.  This called for a day of relaxation and forgetfulness.  So  away we went to see some of the less significant sights around Charlotte.    And when I say less significant I am being so kind to these attractions.

We started out heading for Thomasville, NC.  This is the home of the Worlds Biggest Chair.   A chair with historical significance.   A chair that has been the resting place of President's bottoms.  How can you pass up an opportunity like that.

Well on the way we came across the historic town of Salisbury.  It was coming up on lunch time so how could you not go to a steakhouse and have a famous Salisbury Steak.  Well more disappointment.   Salisbury apparently is not the home of the dish of so many TV diners, but instead is know as the home of the Confederate prison where over 11,000 union prisoners died and were buried in 4 trenches dug in a nearby cemetery.  So sad, I meant the steak, but the prison and prisoners too.

So on to Thomasville, and here is the Chair.

So on to the next attraction.  This is the worlds largest chest of drawers located in High Point, which also has dozens of furniture stores, outlets and other home stores.  On the way there we stopped at a local diner.  It was quite the spot, friendly service, good food, great local gossip and the local hot spot.  There must have been 40 people who came in and ordered in the time we were sitting there. So once again the rule, go to the place where lots of local cars are parked to eat held true.  Oh, and then we were on to the Worlds Largest Chest of Drawers.   I know you have all been waiting so here it is.

Tomorrow is another day and as Belichick said (well he would have said if he was the Bear's coach) there is no Panthers, there is only Atlanta.  

On to Atlanta - go Bears
