One of the better known attractions of Charlotte is the Discovery Place Center right on Main Street. Along with the dinosaur exhibit and the indoor rain forest the center was also hosting a new exhibit called \u2018A Day in Pompeii\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It was a very interesting and educational exhibit detailing the events of a Roman city that was buried in 79 A.D. by a catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in Italy. The history of this ancient city remained hidden and forgotten until archeologists began to excavate the site in 1748. Here\u2019s a small hand full of photos from the exhibit and our day in Charlotte\u2026 Enjoy!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.oceanimagery.com\/frame\/slideshow?key=bz4XXk&amp;autoStart=1&amp;captions=0&amp;navigation=0&amp;playButton=1&amp;randomize=0&amp;speed=3&amp;transition=fade&amp;transitionSpeed=2\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photo.oceanimagery.com\/Journal\/20080712-Charlotte-NC\" target=\"_blank\">(View the photo gallery here\u00bb)<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Foceanimagery.com%2Fjournal%2F2008%2F08%2F11%2Fa-day-in-pompeii%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=dark\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 0px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, while Julie and I were in North Carolina for Alice and Carl\u2019s wedding, we had some extra time to take in the sights of downtown Charlotte.
