Carolinas help


Epistaxis

Recommended Posts

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...

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
