What to do in Raleigh-Durham,NC?

[wolfman]

Im in Raleigh-Durham for work for 6 weeks and wondering if anyone knows of some interesting things to do in the area. I already plan to do a couple of weekends in DC and Charleston but Im looking for local ideas.

1) Drive over to Ashville and visit Biltmore, maybe run up thru the mountains and/or over to Gatlinburg/Pidgeon Forge.

2) Visit Charlotte

3) If you're tinking about Charleston, consider Myrtle Beach

3) C'ville - UVA. Montecello, and Monroe & Madison's homes.

4) Weekend at The Greenbriar or Homestead (particularly if you golf).

5) If all else fails, visit Duke after school starts and scope out "the babes". Duke ususally gets 2 or 3 decent looking ladies per incoming class.

6) If you want furniture, visit High Point

7) Tour the NC State Capitol and then thank God for Texas and its grandeur.

Go to a Bulls game.

UNC's first football game is on the 30th. Apparently tickets are dirt cheap, and the stadium's pretty.


I just realized I go to a school where the nicest thing I can think of to say about the football team is that the stadium's pretty.
