Vacation destination within driving distance from Charlotte


Cat

Recommended Posts

We are trying to think of a place to do a long weekend in late Sept or early Oct.

Any destination ideas? I'm tired of Savannah and Charleston.

Only requirements is it must be within 7 hours of Charlotte, have stuff to do and nice lodging available.

Few things I can recommend for Annapolis: Go down by the bay. The boats are incredible, cute little shops, right there on the water. Go to a Navy football game on a Saturday if you'd like. That's where the Naval Academy is, so sailors are always down walking especially by the harbor. There's a walking ghost tour we went on thru down town Annapolis that was a lot of fun.

Get some Maryland seafood. It's some of the best in the U.S.

And the only other piece of advice I can give you is to stay as far away from Baltimore as you possibly can. That city is trash.

Anyone gone to Blowing Rock and having any lodging tips or must do activities? I've been searching for stuff online and am just tired of researching stuff.

Go over to Linville falls and hike down into there. Its absolutely beautiful. Totally worth it once you get there too.

My parents have a house up there and its awesome.

Also, if you are near Linville, go to Grandfather Mtn and hike up to the swinging bridge, not good if you don't like heights, but an absolutely great view.

    • i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"
    • Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health. 
    • Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
