family activity: Lazy Daze - Annual Arts and Crafts Festival Fills Downtown Cary - 08/23/08 07:36 AM
Raleigh Recreation - Lazy Daze Arts and Crafts Festival!  Looking for a great free activity for the family, or a fun date afternoon?
The 32nd Annual Lazy Daze Arts and Crafts Festival filled downtown Cary to nearly bursting point today - but everyone had a terrific time, and I spotted dozens of festival goers leaving with carefully wrapped one-of-a-kind works of art.
Nearly a dozen streets are shut down and transformed for this one day festival that has become known nationally. 
Chatham Street was recognizable only by the trademark clock and street light.
 
 
 

I passed three different stages … (6 comments)

family activity: Concord Mills - An Outlet Shopping Experience - Two Hours From Raleigh - 01/04/08 10:35 PM
On New Year's Day, I decided to check out the Concord Mills Outlet Mall.  I've been to a few outlet malls within driving distance of Raleigh - Tanger at Blowing Rock, Burlington Manufacturer's Outlet Center, Prime Outlets at Morrisville, and Carolina Premium Outlets in Smithfield, over the past few years. 
I was impressed.  First, this is the only fully indoor outlet mall I've been to in North Carolina.  It's a huge complex, in a "race track" oval.  There are over 200 shops, including a lot of big guys like Burlington Coat Factory, Circuit City, Bed Bath & Beyond, AC Moore, and even the … (17 comments)

family activity: Gem Mining - A Great Weekend Activity - 11/21/07 01:14 AM
Do your kids like to play in the mud?  How about hide and seek?  Got any little (or big) pirates that enjoy hunting for buried treasure?  Then you and your family may want to try gem mining in one of North Carolina's rich recreational mines.   Many mines focus on emeralds.   Emeralds are North Carolina's state stone for good reason - this state has more emeralds than any other, and has produced emeralds as large as 1500 carats.
If you'd like to try your luck, one of the closest gem mines to the Triangle area is in Pittsboro, a very short drive … (2 comments)
