Coming to Raleigh North Carolina

We have relatives locally and have already been there at least a dozen times but haven't played the tourist. What are the highlights. Must see destinations. Great resturants, and things we should not miss.

Barry, what time of year will you be going?

You should drive over to Durham and go eat at Bullock's Barbecue. Then nearby Chapel Hill to walk down Franklin St. and window-shop, maybe have a drink or two if that's your style.

Far as downtown Raleigh, I don't know much about it, but pm alpac, cause he lives there now.

Yep, Orville & Wilbur flew that plane at Kitty Hawk, on the Outer Banks of NC. It's not so close to Raleigh, but there is a Memorial there.

I can remember going to some Museums in Raleigh years ago- NC Museum of History, Art, Science, etc. I'm honestly much more familiar with Durham and Chapel Hill, both of which are well within an hour of Raleigh.

If you get a chance to catch a Durham Bulls game- I'd highly recommend it!

Or the other thing that you could do is dress in all black and pull through really slow...jump out and scamper around the bushes...I am sure that would please the neighbors!

Yeah. Great idea. Especially of you want to get shot and then arrested. Great way to spend a vacation. Hope you don't mind if i do not add your suggestion to the list of options.
