So, my in-laws will be here Monday for 4 days. Um...how should we entertain them? I mean, we're kind of at a loss as to what to show them about Raleigh, or NC in general. All the things we like are outside & it's freaking cold! They have little to no interest in museums, so that's out. We plan on taking 'em downtown....driving through cool neighborhoods like Historic Oakmont, checking out some buildings, eating BBQ. And we're gonna take 'em over to downtown Durham and the American Tobacco area. We *might* drive to Charleston or even Wilmington for a day. *sigh* I just don't know what to do with them! Help! They are kind of boring, but I don't just want to sit around my apt. with them for 4 days. Any suggestions?
Re: What to do with InLaws?
If you are going to Durham you could go to Duke and walk through the Duke Chapel.
Are they into plays/theater? There might be a local production that would not be too expensive.
When you're downtown, maybe swing by the Krispy Kreme on Person street. My guests always love to get some donuts and watch the production line.
Big Ed's in City Market is always a big hit too. They're open for breakfast and lunch.
I heard there's an ice rink downtown: http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=resources/lifestyle_community&id=7149427
Even if they don't want to skate, could be something cool to watch anyway.
Depending on how cold it is, you could bundle up and go to the Flea Market at the Fairgrounds too (there's always the indoor area too if it's ridiculously cold out).
