Things To Do
Lake Johnson
We walk around this beautiful lake every night with Tito! It is a three mile loop that can be walked, biked, or ran! Unfortunately, horseback riding is not permitted at this time.
Oak City Meatball Shoppe
One of our favorite restaurants in Raleigh! Note: their menu is 100% meatballs, but they do offer meatless meatballs!
The Mason Jar Tavern
A fun restaurant just a few miles from the venue!
North Carolina State University
Take a walk around the campus where Daniel and I met! Be sure to stop and get some Howling Cow Ice Cream!
Raleigh Beer Garden
365 beers on tap. Yes, that is correct. Enjoy a flight or two, as well as our favorite beer-battered pretzel with beer cheese.
Raleigh Brewing Company
A brewery just a few miles from NC State, with excellent beers on tap and food trucks always around! Our favorites: Hell Yes Ma'am & the Belltower.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Raleigh
A fun and unique movie experience! Plus - beer!
North Carolina Museum of Art
One of our favorite places to walk around, outdoors or indoors. Also - it's free!
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
This is a wonderful museum situated in DTR - and it's free! Additionally, the Museum of Natural History is located right next door and it's just as worthy of a visit.
Marbles Kids Museum
For our guests with children - this is a wonderful museum in DTR that provides day-long passes for endless activities. There are activities and areas for children of all ages!
Videri Chocolate Factory
This chocolate factory offers free tours and tastings! Need I say more?
Quercus Studio
Not only can you support local artists, but you can also visit the art studio where we had our rings made - and maybe meet a very cool pup.
The Pit Authentic Barbecue
Especially for our Northern guests - y'all don't know what food is until you've had some Carolina BBQ.
JC Raulston Arboretum
NC State University's very own arboretum is a wonderful place to visit and explore!
Global Village Organic Coffee
Right across the street from NC State is *one* of Kelsey's favorite coffee and tea shops. Stop in for a game of Scrabble, fresh beans, or their latte of the day!
Cook Out
If you are not from North Carolina - this is a must. Please order a Cookout Tray and a fancy shake - you will not regret it. Bojangles and Chick-fil-a are also great for a quick, fast meal that is native to this region.
Brice's Brewing Company
A brewery in walking-distance from our home that always has eccentric, exciting flavors on-tap and a food truck out front!
Greenway Trail Head
The Greenway trail runs miles and miles across Raleigh. If you are looking for an extended trail for biking or marathon training, this is for you!
