Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

We are excited you're spending your weekend with us in a place we have called home since we graduated from UNC.

 The hotel blocks are located in North Hills- there is plenty of shopping and restaurants.

Below our some of our favorite places!

A great indoor/outdoor brewery, dog friendly, and has a restaurant joined with. A great place to catch up with guests

Kayla's Favorite: Back that Razz Up
Blake's Favorite: Hop on Top

Lynnwood Brewing Concern

Blake's FAVORITE restaurant. Would book reservations in advance

Crawford and Son

Great pizza and beer. Very close to Wye Hill, which has a great view of downtown Raleigh

We often end up getting 2 small pizzas and splitting them- our go to is the Local Celebrity

Trophy Brewing & Pizza

Local wine and cheese bar close to the hotels! There is also a Vita Vite downtown

Vita Vite Midtown

Although Raleigh in July can be steamy,  the art museum not only has great art exhibits, but also has a nice walking trail that goes over the beltline.

North Carolina Museum of Art

Great running/walking trails for those that want to sweat a little. There are many entrances, you cannot go wrong. But maybe use a map, Kayla got lost in the woods in high school

William B Umstead State Park Road

In July, Dorothea Dix has a large sunflower field that is definitely worth checking out! There are also great downtown Raleigh views
