Vacation destination within driving distance from Charlotte

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.

Cool that all sounds fun!

The mountains this time of year are gorgeous and will just get more-so the closer we get to October.

Makoto's Japanese Steakhouse in Boone is a must if you're in the area.

Blowing Rock Cafe' is fantastic. So is the Daniel Boone Inn.

I've eaten dinner there before and it was really good. My parents used to have a house up there. They sold it, and when they go back to visit they stay at the Ragged Garden. You better book quickly though.

Amelia Island

We went there years ago and other than riding some horses on the beach, there wasn't much to do around there. I was underwhelmed but this was about 12 years ago.

Williamsburg Va

West Virginia been mentioned The Gauley river is released in October if I remember some of the best rafting this side of the US.

There is a nice Mountain Town in the GA Mountains that the name escapes me but it like a little Switzerland.

Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing in the world.

That is for sure!

Honestly, I'd love to go on a trip by myself for about a week and do pretty much nothing. :drool5:

You can call me nothing, if you want.

I agree however the requirements for this exercise were:

A) Within 7 hours of Charlotte

HAVE STUFF TO DO

C) Nice lodging available

If they are not requirements but merely suggestions then I would say Hawaii, Australia, or maybe a nice trip to Ireland would be a great place to go. To H*ll with Amelia Island!
