| - So beautiful! My New Year's Resolution for 2014 was to make Charlotte really feel like home. Part of this plan was to find various trails, parks, greenways and get more familiar with them to appreciate where I live. One of those outings was to this gem.
Anne Springs Close Greenway, like others have noted, is just a short car ride south of Charlotte in South Carolina. If you are a resident of South Carolina, I think you can get a membership or get in for free. If you aren't, like me, bring some cash and pay the entry fee.
Bring a picnic and take your time strolling the trail. You'll pass by some old homesteads, one of which belonged to Billy Graham's grandfather. This was an ideal spot to take my mom and mother-in-law. They loved it! You can also bring your pup, but make sure you bring doggie bags to clean up behind him.
It's an ideal location to take your family portraits; it is picturesque with open fields, wooden cabins, or fields of horses. When my husband and I were there we saw many families posing and getting great rustic shots and I'm sure their holiday cards look picture perfect.
There is also a barn that can be rented out for weddings, receptions, or other events. The outside is super cute, but the inside is basic. I'm sure it's that way to allow people to decorate it for any occasion.
