So far, it’s been an amazing Sunday!
I decided to drive up to Charlotte this afternoon to walk Uptown. The Uptown area was so charming and clean! I’m not used to seeing cities kept so well.
They had all kinds of walking paths and parks. I saw a bunch of restaurants I’d like to try out.
After exploring Charlotte, I headed back. I kept driving by tons of frozen yogurt shops, but had no self control this time! I stopped at the Sweet Frog for a delicious treat!
The best thing about being an adult is choosing when to eat your dessert. Having it before dinner on a Sunday is acceptable in my books.
I added all kinds of chocolate candy bar pieces, m&m’s, cookie dough bites, mini cool mints, sprinkles, cake batter froyo and cookies and cream froyo! Delicious 🙂
Nina says
There is an AMAZING Sushi place in Charlotte called Ru San’s. It is the best sushi I have ever had! You should try it 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
sawwww that!!
Melissa says
Oh yeah, they have that here in Atlanta, too. They have super cheap sushi, too. You can get 3 maki rolls for $1.50. So you can mix and match and it’s really impossible to eat something that isn’t delicious. 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
mmm good to know!
Livi says
Yum, I’m craving froyo now!!
Taralynn McNitt says
I had been craving it for so long!The last time I had it was in GA!
Leigha @ Minougirl says
I’ve never had froyo before!!! It makes me sad! I had dessert before dinner tonight also 🙂 cake and ice cream!
Taralynn McNitt says
Never ever?! It tastes like soft serve ice cream. But cake and ice cream are great too 🙂
LauraMae says
Froyo is my favorite!!!!!!!!!! Well any ice cream really…it’s in my blog’s name. Lol Your pictures are stunning!!!!
Taralynn McNitt says
Thank you so much:) Anyone who doesn’t like ice cream would scare me!
Jessica says
Your froyo is exactly how I get mine! Ha! I figure if the yogurt is healthy I can get away with all the chocolate candies 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
Lol go big or go home! 😉
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Love Charlotte! Beautiful city. I had froyo tonight too – it was delicious!
Taralynn McNitt says
I feel like it’s the time of year for froyo! And I agree! Charlotte was gorgeous.
Ashley says
I live in Charlotte!! Wish I could’ve gotten a chance to meet you!
Taralynn McNitt says
Maybe I’ll set up a park walk or something next time I’m there!
Ashley says
This comment is super late but that would be so awesome!!
Laura M. says
I lived in Charlotte for 6 years so if you need any tips on places to check out let me know!
Taralynn McNitt says
Thanks Laura!!
Ginger says
Welcome to Charlotte! I love it here! You should try out the Whitewater Center the next time that you come! So much fun!
Taralynn McNitt says
I will look into it! Thanks, Ginger!:)
Cory says
Yay, my hometown!! love, love Charlotte! I agree on RuSan’s… and if you happen to go back to Charlotte check out Cabo Fish Taco in NoDa (really cool neighborhood), Copper on East Blvd (amazing Indian food), and Mert’s Heart and Soul… all soooo delicious! Also check out the National Whitewater Center!
Taralynn McNitt says
So many great tips! Thank you so much 🙂
Lauren says
Aw this is my town! 😀 Glad that you had a good time
Taralynn McNitt says
Lucky to live there!
Kaitlyn says
omg! I wish I had known you were in Charlotte (as if you would have met up with me haha) but I live here! As far as best sushi goes I’m going to have to argue and say Enso is the absolute best. 😀
Taralynn McNitt says
I was just mentioning to another commenter…I might set up some kind of walk in the park next time I’m there! 🙂 And I’ll have to check out some Enso Sushi! You can never have enough!
Rachael says
Please can tell me what camera you use? X
Taralynn McNitt says
Yesterday I used the Olympus Stylus TG-2 iHS Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and 3-Inch LCD
Its the camera I take with me when I travel light! It’s small but powerful 🙂
Madita @ HHandCoffee says
Oh this looks so delicious ! Now I want some frozen yogurt, too 😮
Taralynn McNitt says
It’s the perfect time of year for it!
Jenny says
Am I the only one reading these posts who does not live in SC, but would now really like to move there? Damn MN and all its snow. =)
Lu says
Just an FYI, but Charlotte is not in SC.
Leeann @ Join the Gossip says
That looks SO good right! Totally craving froyo now!
Taralynn McNitt says
Go get yourself some 🙂 Everyone deserves a little froyo!
Anita Childress says
Your froyo looks so yummy. I recently tried taro flavored froyo on the island of Kauai. It was delicious.
Taralynn McNitt says
well it sounds delicious! Especially on the island of Kauai 😉
Helena says
I live in charlotte and I’d love to meet you. Next time if check out yoforia yogurt, it’s all natural and organic, YUMMY, and without the HFCS 🙂
Molly says
Cabo Fish Taco in Charlotte is very tasty.
Also if you are looking for a good place to hike around in nature there, check out the Reedy Creek Nature Preserve. Nice trails. Also you can take a short hike to the ruins of an old stone house built in the 1800s.
Taralynn McNitt says
Oh cool! i’ll have to check that out. Thank you!
Casey Kuan says
There’s a GREAT French Bakery in Charlotte! It’s called Amelie’s, there’s 3 locations: Noda, Downtown Charlotte, and Rock Hill, SC.
The original location is in Noda:
2424 N Davidson St.
Charlotte, NC 28205
It’s open 24 hours and I LOVE their Salted Caramel Brownie! it’s amazing.
Taralynn McNitt says
Thanks for the recommendation!
Lu says
Given the recent drama surrounding Amelie’s, I’m surprised anyone is promoting it :/ There are much better bakeries in Charlotte anyway.
Taralynn McNitt says
Now I’m curious as to what the drama is! lol
Allison says
I live in Charlotte, just moved here in October from CT! Lots of awesome places to eat, and the epicenter is so much fun! True story, saw your post of your fro-yo on instagram, and my roomie and I were instantly craving it so we had to go get it!
Taralynn McNitt says
lol sorry about that:) I’m going again to get fro yo tomorrow with a group of girls down here! I have a feeling I’ll be getting plenty this year! I’ll have to check out the epicenter!
Valerie says
Looks delicious!! And that city looks beautiful! That’s definitely on my travel list now!
Taralynn McNitt says
It’s beautiful and it’s surrounding areas are nice as well:) A lot of charm

Alyssa @ Lyss the Nutritionist says

Taylor says
I highly recommend taking a trip to Chapel Hill in North Carolina. It is about 2 hours from Charlotte, but Franklin Street is awesome. I also love downtown Salisbury which is about 45 minutes from Charlotte so not quite as long of a drive as Chapel Hill. My boyfriend goes to school in Salisbury and I absolutely love downtown. 🙂
Amanda says
I have several friends living there in Charlotte. I once asked if there was a shady area anywhere and was told “just a tiny one”. It’s such a clean & beautiful city!
Sarah Autumn says
Ah! I live just a couple of minutes outside of Waxhaw- so cool to see pictures of where you live and someone else’s perspective! Love your blog!
Anna Newsome says
Loved your post about visiting Charlotte, I live just 10 minutes north of the city & absolutely love exploring it! There are so many great restaurants but if you come to Charlotte again I highly recommend Aria it’s in the Uptown area & their food is phenomenal!
Jane says
Luna’s Living Kitchen is an awesome raw vegan restaurant in Charlotte you must try! Delicious and healthy 🙂
