This Is Why I Loved My First Mad Monster Expo In Charlotte This Weekend
My husband and kids are the monster enthusiasts in the family. They thought going to the Mad Monster Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina would be a family fun activity. Who watches scary movies with your hand in front of your face the whole time? That would be me. My people could tell you who starred in what movie for the past twenty years. I went because I wanted to hang out with them. This is why I loved my first Mad Monster Expo in Charlotte this weekend.
There is still Sunday for you to go with your family, friends or just by yourself. Who knew monster lovers were some of the loveliest most polite people you will ever meet. The Mad Monster Expo is going on this weekend at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Concord, North Carolina. Stars of monster movies past and present are there. People like Rose McGowan, Dr. Peter Weller or Robert Patrick.
You can meet your favorite monster stars, get your picture with them and have a little chat. Or you can attend panel discussions on topics like “How To Make Your Own Monster Movies”. Purchase replica memorabilia from your favorite scary movies, and the people watching is amazing. The monster vibe was strong, people were having a great time and I loved hanging out with my monster movie loving family. This is why I loved my first Mad Monster Expo in Charlotte this weekend. To learn more about what you can expect on Sunday get details right here.
Here are a few pics from my first Mad Monster Expo in Charlotte this weekend.
26 Indoor Activities To Have Fun While Staying Cool This Summer In Charlotte North Carolina
There is no way around it, it is HOT in the Carolinas this summer. It was in the mid-90s all last week and will be there the rest of this week as well. There are only so many things you can do inside to entertain yourself or your kids and let’s face it it’s just too miserable to be outside. At this temperature, I can’t even lay out at the pool, it’s get in the water of bust. And forget that afternoon rail trail walk or outdoor dining. So if you’re like me and don’t want to sit at home, but instead want to beat the heat this is the list for you. I’ve scoured the internet for 26 indoor activities for you to have fun while staying cool this summer in Charlotte.
All of these activities have one main thing in common. And that one thing is air conditioning. Because when it’s 95 degrees outside nothing else will cut it! Indoors is also helpful when that oh-so-common summer storm pops up. So no getting wet (unless by choice) here.
On this list you’ll find a variety of activities some for kids and adults alike, others geared more towards just adults. Tap into your creative side, your adventurous side, or just relax and enjoy. Many offer the chance to have a cold drink but aren’t drinking-focused. Instead, you’ll find indoor activities in Charlotte that are sure to entertain and break up the monotony that the summer heat can often bring. Hopefully, this list will be helpful and you’ll find something new to try or remember an old favorite you’d forgotten about. Try one of these activities. Let us know! Stay cool out there this summer, Charlotte (it will be winter and we will be begging for warmer days before we know it).
