I’m down to less than two months before I move the gear west to Kentucky for seminary. There are things that I’m doing to get ready - cleaning officially began today and some boxes of junk were sent to an early death at the dumpster.
There are still some things that I need to get done. I’d like to sale my bed (anyone need a good queen-sized bed that has an antique-type metal headboards?) before leaving. I’d like to also get rid of some more things stashed away that I haven’t used in awhile. And I’d also like to figure out why my lamp won’t work in my bedroom.
But, more importantly, I want to experience or do some things in North Carolina that I’ve not done in three years. Call it my stupid sitting on my hands for three years, but I feel as though I’ve left a lot of things undone here.
Now, I’ve been to Concord Mills (I consider it an exercise walking around that place), white water rafting, seen the Durham Bulls play, and walked along Wrightsville Beach, but I feel there are things empty and left undone. As if I don’t really know the state that I love (almost as much as my native W.Va.) and one I want to be able to return to when my studies are complete.
So here are some things that I’ve not done that I would like to do in the next two months. They run between the historic and the good eats. If there are places that I’ve not included that you know I’ve not been to, post them and we’ll take a look.
- Eat at the 501 Diner in Chapel Hill.
- Visit the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island.
- Play golf in the mountains of North Carolina.
- Go to the Richard Childress Vineyard.
- Determine the better barbecue - eastern North Carolina or western North Carolina. (I like both, really.)
So what am I missing here?
