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...

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By Basbear · Posted

      I think Lane is spot on and I do respect his opinions.    ROUND 1:  Best value:  Edge, Wide Receiver, Cornerback.  I predict overdrafting OT and a run on edge will drop WRs and maybeCB  lower and a great value could land in our lap.  Could we do it again?  In the words of Brittany Spears, “Oops.” Corner?  Well, I think we will move Smith-Wade to FS at some point.  Smart, calls coverages.  Jackson is gone after 2026. . Get a nickel later, however, unless a stud CB falls. Please don’t draft TE here. Edge?  On paper, we are strong, but you can never have enough pass rushers.  We will leave awesome at one position that we may not have listed as a primary need: Edge, CB, or WR. ROUND 2:  Best Value: Linebacker.  I do not see us drafting another position here.  LB–Hill (longshot), Rodgriguez, Golday. Edge (second tier–Height, Jacas, Moore, Young, Howell–would be hard to overlook, but our GM is a former LB)  S A Haulcy is a darkhorse possibility. ROUND 3:  Best Value:  Defensive line. Halton (OK), Jackson (Fl. St), Durant (Penn State).   ROUND 4:  Best Value: Center.  Slaughter, Hecht, Jones, Lew, Coogan, Jones, Zuhn.  This is the only real option.  We should take our center in round 4. ROUND 5:  Best value:  They will be looking for a developmental OT here if not addressed sooner.  Jude Bowery ((BC), D. Crownover (RT-Tex AM), Wagner (RT-Notre Dame) seem promising.      This is the way.  Great summary and I feel its on the right wave length.
