I would love to go to Raleigh, NC this Fall. I’ve never been to NC but it looks like the perfect Fall Getaway. I was browsing their website tonight and this place is seriously a hidden treasure! Performances, museum exhibitions, festivals, concerts… I would love to see the NC Shakespeare Festival and The Marriage of Figaro performance.

Their 2007 N.C. State Fair looks like sooo much fun. I just love state fairs. All that good food… The smell of fair food is intoxicating! There’s something so wholesome and fun about state fairs. It reminds me of being a kid again. I used to get so excited about going to the state fair once a year. Trace Adkins is going to be at their state fair on October 21st. I like him a lot, but I like country so that’s a given. And in the winter they have a little Tinsel Town with an ice skating rink, visits with Santa, decorated holiday trees, and hot cocoa! I just love the time of the year that is approaching. There is so much fun stuff to look forward to.
Even if we don’t win this getaway I’m going to talk to Preston about making a trip there after he gets his pilots license. Who would of thought that NC would have these kinds of fun things? It doesn’t sound like your typical vacation spot but it sure sounds like a blast.
