summer in clt 🌷

I just spent my first summer (and spring) in Charlotte, North Carolina so I’m sharing a few highlights 💌

It’s my first time living in a city and I was so happy that there were SO many things to do whether it be festivals, sports games, concerts, or simply meeting up with girls to walk. There were paid activities but there was also an abundance of free things to do as well 🤍

🍋‍🟩Q: what are some of your favorite summer memories?
