Things To Do
Press Coffee+Crepes
If you are looking for a place to get brunch the day before or the day of the wedding and are staying near Graham, Press is wonderful! They have everything you could want from sweet + savory crepes to hashbrown waffles, omelets, pastries, and coffee. Olivia went to the Durham location with her mom on her 21st birthday!
Tanger Outlets Mebane
Tanger Outlets is a great place to shop if you have free time!
Eno River State Park
Eno River State Park is a large nature park to hike and spend time outdoors. The Eno River quarry and the river itself are fun to visit during the summer time for picnics!
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
UNC is where Olivia went to college and also where she and Micah had their first date! They drove up to campus for Olivia to give Micah a tour and then they went to get ice cream at Maple View shortly after. Micah and Olivia have many memories of working and attending sports games on campus together over their years of dating.
Brenz Pizza Co. Chapel Hill
The couple loves to get pizza from Brenz and eat the greasy food on the living room floor during movie nights.
Kahlovera Mexican Bar & Grill
Olivia and Micah went to this restaurant with Olivia's dad and step-mom before attending a UNC Football game.
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
"The best fast food restaurant in the world, argue with a wall."- Micah Thompson
Epilogue Books Chocolate Brews
Micah and Olivia have spent many afternoons and weekends in Chapel Hill at Epilogue, taking breaks between school assignments to browse the bookshelves and order another coffee.
La Montaña
A cool spot in Carrboro that is Instagram-reel famous.
Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area
Micah and Olivia have hiked here and really enjoy the overlook trail that gives a view of Hillsborough.
Maple View Farm Ice Cream
This was the ice cream place Olivia tried to get Micah to go with her on their first date, but the line was too long. They have been back since and Micah highly recommends the sorbet.
Jubala Coffee
Amazing coffee and wonderful waffles
Barcelona Wine Bar
We enjoyed a wonderful night out with Ayren and Morgan here, with Jacob as our patented fifth wheel :)
Taverna Agora Greek Kitchen & Bar
Great Greek restaurant in downtown Raleigh.
Barnes & Noble
Books. Enough said.
FRESH. Local Ice Cream
Amazing sorbet according to Micah and Olivia loves the classic cookies & cream.
Cultivate Coffee Roasters
If you are staying closer to Angier, Fuquay, or Willow Spring, Cultivate is Micah and Olivia's favorite coffee shop to visit. The atmosphere is lively, but not too lively that it is impossible to get work done. They have many food, sweets, and drink options to choose from.
Stick Boy Bread Co
Again if you are staying further south of the wedding venue, Olivia and Micah love the quiches and coffee at Stick Boy. They have a wider selection of baked goods than Cultivate, but both are great choices. Make sure to jump in the puddles around there- MT
Planet Fitness
We live here even though you'd never be able to tell.
Raven Rock State Park
Raven Rock is one of Olivia's favorite hiking spots closer to home. She drags Micah along with her.
