It's a beYOOOtiful day! Day trip ideas? (Wilmington, Mebane: beach, car)

Clear, cold, sunny! There is absolutely NO WAY that I'm staying indoors.

Time for a day trip to somewhere -- maybe with a hike. Or an interesting town to poke around. Fall colors a plus!

Suggestions in, say, a two-three hour radius?

I got the best outdoor thing for you do come join me for some fun raking leaves

Good times you can even jump inside the leaf piles or throw your car keys in them to create your own scavenger hunt

Well for "little towns"... Downtown Mebane is doing their annual Holiday fest today. Most of the downtown businesses are all locally owned, and they are giving out free treats, stuff like that. Family friendly, etc.

Destination Downtown Mebane


For a hike or something different, I always loved to go to the beach during the off season... Wilmington is only a couple of hours away and has a ton to do downtown as well.
