NC Vacation

[OrigScreaminDemon]

So I have some frequent flier miles I need to use and ITKMom does as well. We were thinking we might fly to Greensboro and..........? Are there any lakes close to there? What's fun to do in NC these days?

We sit on our porch, eat good food and drink good wine. Essentially porch sitting and pool sitting. It is the way we train for tailgate season. We are 15 minutes from the airpoort.

Not NC, but Smith Mountain Lake is about two hours from Winston. We used to go for a week every summer. Now we have a cottage down there so we go for a couple of days at a time. I love it there and it's a pretty big lake.

No brainer...I'd scratch Greensboro and fly into Raleigh or ILM and head to da beach.

You go to the beach or you go to the mountains. Same as always.

Wait until the ND game then fly into town.

Any particular reason you would fly to Greensboro? Unless you have relatives there, I would suggest somewhere more interesting. Greensboro is a geographical oddity, 45 minutes from everywhere.

This, except I'd just fly into Raleigh and rent a car rather than waiting for the puddlejumper to go to ILM.

Or fly to Norfolk and go to the Outer Banks.

You can wear stockings with the seams up the back in the Triad, fwiw...

This post is full of win. Posrep.

Continental flies to Greensboro, so that is the logic with that.

Rdu too.

 

[wakegrrl]

Rdu too.

And Norfolk, I think.

Fly to Norfolk and hit the Outer Banks. Options per usual for NC are mountains or the beach. This time of year, obviously the beach. Around Nags Head is really nice and after the 4th most of the people around are owners so it will be a nice time if you go late July/Early August.

This. I like the mountains in summer and fall and prefer the beach in the spring.

If you go to the mountains in July/August make sure you are staying at 3500' or higher. My boss went to his place in Banner Elk this past weekend and the A/C went out--he was too hot so he came back early (and his place is at 4200').
