Quick trip to North Carolina

Jake & I took a quick trip to Charlotte, North Carolina to visit the Pelton & Crane factory-the place they make a lot of the dental equipment for dental offices. Jake is in the process of ordering his dental equipment so they flew us out there to check things out. We left Thursday morning, got there around 4PM, checked into our hotel & then went out to eat at a nice steak restaurant. The food was pretty good, but honestly, I am fine with restaurants that aren't so expensive. I'm not real comfortable being so formal when I eat. =) We were all stuffed after dinner, so we went back to our rooms to let our food settle & get ready for a big day tomorrow.
We met at 8AM & headed off to the factory. The ride there was our best chance at seeing the area. We were inside so much that I really didn't get any pictures of the city. The streets were lined with trees so I'm sure in the spring time it is just beautiful.
We went inside the factory & had a tour of how the plant was run. This place was huge & so much was going on. I was surprised at how much was done by hand, not machines.
We spent hours there looking at their showroom & having Jake decide what he wanted in his operatories. He got a lot accomplished & he felt good about how it will a look. We went to lunch & then headed back to the airport to go home. It was a good trip & good for Jake to make some final decisions, but it sure was quick.


These are the cabinets Jake is ordering for his operatories.
