Opening my suitcase and sharing everything I packed for a long weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina: It’s not often you see a long-distance road trip packing list on wayward!

Happy Summer! Weather-wise it’s felt like summer here since, oh, April or so – but now that the kids are out of school and the college students have returned to their hometowns for the next few months, my city has thinned out and I’m finally getting to enjoy a slower pace of life. I’ve never …
