 Charlotte is the most populous city in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is the county seat of Mecklenburg County. It is the 17th-most populous city in the United States. It is the second-largest city in the southeastern United States, just behind Jacksonville, Florida. It is the third-fastest-growing major city in the United States. Residents are referred to as "Charlotteans". Charlotte is home to the corporate headquarters of Bank of America and the east coast operations of Wells Fargo, which along with other financial institutions made it the second-largest banking center in the United States from 1995 to 2017 and the third-largest in 2017. Charlotte has a humid subtropical climate. It is located several miles east of the Catawba River and southeast of Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in North Carolina. Lake Wylie and Mountain Island Lake are two smaller man-made lakes located near the city.

The two RV Gypsies want to bring their great-grandson to the Children's museum because it looks like a big and wonderful place. They also hope to do additional exploring in Charlotte at sometime in the near future. |
