Even a UNC alum like Hope has to admit, these are beautiful gardens. Check their website for hours.
Hillsborough Riverwalk
Hillsborough Riverwalk, Hillsborough, NC 27278
If you have time, head to the Riverwalk in Hillsborough where Hope and Alex took many, many Covid walks. Pro tip: stop by Cup a Joe for a great frozen latte.
Museum of Life and Science
433 West Murray Avenue, Durham, NC 27704
Not to state the obvious... but the museum is really cool. Stop by during the day to support the museum and explore all of the additional exhibits.
