Carolinas help

I have been given an assignment by the CEO to organize a family trip.

One of the suggested destinations was the Carolinas.

This made me smile.

I, of course, thought of my pals here.

This trip would be 5-7 days long and would include myself, the missus, and our 4 and 2 year olds.

They love water parks, pools, playgrounds, the beach, art, the typical stuff.

I look to survive these trips, so my thoughts are mostly inconsequential.

Any help on where to go, where to stay, what to see would be very much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I'd say go in the mountains around Asheville, maybe even go to the Biltmore (Warning $$$$) then take 26 on down to Charleston. You can hit the beaches around there or go down the coast to Beaufort (pronounced byou-fert) or Hilton Head (more family oriented). I will say if you go around Beaufort/Hilton Head, you must go for a day out to Hunting Island.

I didn't know you were from Brevard... we're looking at going there this summer for that very reason.

I would suggest Myrtle Beach... yeah, it's touristy but there's stuff for everyone from the beach to golf to waterparks. Stay at Kingston Plantation.

Mountains are a good way to start. From Boone to Maggie Valley(kids).

To me anywhere on the SC coast is great. We always like to start in Charleston for a day or two and work our way up HWY 17 to Myrtle Beach and end up in Wilmington NC.

If you are near Charlotte at the end of May the Coca Cola 600 is going on and even if you aren't so much into racing the Speed Street uptown is something fun to do.

I second the Asheville sentiment... You and the missus would probably like the Biltmore... From there, I'd go to to Asheboro and the zoo... Then maybe take US 64 to Raleigh, where you can hit the NC Museum of Natural Sciences (and maybe see me!), the NC Museum of History, Marbles Kids Museum, or head over to Blue Ridge Rd. to see the NC Museum of Art... Then, after Raleigh, you could head to Wilmington and the USS North Carolina Battleship, stop by the beach, or even head down to Myrtle Beach in just over an hour... South Carolina is overrated though... ;)

For time's sake, Asheville to Asheboro would take about a 3 hour drive... Asheboro to Raleigh is like an hour... and Raleigh to Wilmington is about an hour and a half...

Water parks... You have those in Concord/Charlotte (Great Wolf Lodge) and Greensboro (Emerald Pointe)... But I haven't heard the greatest things about them lately... Charlotte also has Carowinds...

I'll see if I can think of any other places... The OBX is always an option, but you might run out of things to do with the kiddies...

      The running back situation....

      I had everything saved on an old email address and my computer crashed and could not be revived.  I tried reviving it, then stumbled on one I was going to create several years ago...So I am using it instead.  My fault--did not keep the email and forgot password--

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.is what i am actually referring to in that particular post  all those #'s you are referring to are athletic #'s & Monroe Freeling had or has an impressive combination of size & raw athletiscm & it has nothing do with his size or athelticsm that is preventing him from being a day 1 starter in the NFL technique is where he struggled at the NFL combine & not only scouts but analysts alike also viewed him as more of a developmental type of player rather than a day 1 starter  go take a look at Will Campbell transition from the SEC to the NFL another first round LT that was drafted #4 overall by the New England Patriot,s.Will Campbell was a three year starter at  LSU & was thought to be one of if not the very best LT's in the SEC  & compare his SEC carrer to his rookie season in the NFL? just because you played good in the SEC at LT does nescarrily mean you are ready to start at LT in the NFL day 1 & or your rookie season  & one last thing i think you are jumping to conclusion & somehow assuming that i do not like Monroe Freeling ?which could not be further from the truth .what i do not like is the idea starting a player who is not ready ...just saying

      I'd 10x rather play the NFC North than NFC West.
