Dragon Attack

Wizarding World of Harry Potter
May 18, 2017 by Matt Spangard

The fire-breathing dragon that guards Gringott's Bank in Diagon Alley actually breathes fire! I'm sure it took a lot of convincing to get sign-off on giant balls of fire being sprayed out above the crowd but the end result is spectacular.

Fire Rings of the Lion King

Disney's Animal Kingdom
May 06, 2017 by Matt Spangard

The Festival of the Lion King at Disney's Animal Kingdom is a great show. We always make a point to get a Fast Pass for it. We missed the Fast Pass window, though, on our last visit because a rogue giraffe stranded our truck out on Kilimanjaro Safaris for about a half an hour.

We ran to the Lion King show as soon as our safari tour was over but missed our window so we had to enter in the "regular" line about two minutes before the show started. They took us into the theater and sat us down right on the floor in front of the show!

Despite the fact that they pulled me up onto the stage and made me grunt like a warthog in front of the entire show, it was a great bit of luck! Stay tuned for many front-row photographs from the Festival of the Lion King in the coming months!

It's the weekend! If you live in Charlotte, do yourself a favor and check out Blue Blaze Brewing for some of the best beer you've ever had. Blue Blaze is located in West Charlotte, about three minutes from Pinky's. Lots of free parking and fantastic beer! It's a great way to start the weekend.

The forecast this week in Charlotte is cold and rainy... here's a little throwback to the summer to warm things up. This is the fire pit at the Villages at Wild Dunes, captured from our balcony.

This scene is from last Sunday on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linn Cove Viaduct. The smoke from the forest fires in Western North Carolina were blowing their way into the High Country.

Growlers and Fire

Charlotte, North Carolina
October 28, 2016 by Matt Spangard

It's Halloween weekend! Even though we're still consistently hitting high temps in the 80s, it is cooling off to the 50s in the evenings. That's perfect weather for a pint of your favorite beer and some time around a campfire.

If you live in Charlotte and are out of beer or you don't have a fire pit in your back yard, head over to Blue Blaze Brewing this weekend and they'll hook you up!

Triple Aught Design Aprés Ski

Beech Mountain, North Carolina
January 14, 2016 by Matt Spangard

There's nothing like a little downtime by the fire after a hard day on the mountain. Especially after chasing a 3 year-old and 6 year-old all over the slopes. Spotted here is my favorite piece of adventure gear from Triple Aught Design. Not spotted here is the hard-earned pint of Guinness that's sitting on the coffee table. 

This photograph was captured with a Sony NEX-7.
