Colleen worked here as an environmental educator in college! A gorgeous garden filled with native plants (including venus flytraps!).
Think of Weaver Street as Carrboro's town square. Yes, it's a grocery store, but don't miss their breakfast hot bar!
A 613-acre preserve with 15 miles of hiking and biking trails to get out and grab some fresh NC air!
We took walks in Duke Gardens every few weeks while Colleen was in grad school. You can buy pellets at the visitor's center to feed the ducks!
Duke's lemur center is amazing -- get tickets in advance!
Located in downtown Durham, this historic building now houses some funky modern art exhibits as well as a fun bar and restaurant.
A great option for a day activity with the family featuring an array of hands-on exhibits.
October 14-24. Enjoy great food, carnival rides, and learning more about NC culture.
This is the closest beach! It's about 2.5 hours from Raleigh-Durham Airport.
We recommend you spend some hours here - rent a pontoon or a kayak and explore the lake!
Lots of good local beer and beer gardens to enjoy it!
Yummy treats!
