Heading over to Raleigh Durham soon - what's to do there?

Other than catch a game of the Durham bulls and watch them take the curse off of the Shortstop's glove...

2. Rent a car and check out the really good parts of NC

The mountains and beaches are a couple of hours away in each direction. I'm sure there are fine places to eat and drink in the area but I haven't lived there in 20 years so my favorite haunts might be gone.

8. Stop by the Sarah P. Duke gardens

around Duke University's West Campus, which is very pretty by itself. Definitely, walk around Franklin St. in Chapel Hill. In Raleigh, go downtown to Glenwood Avenue: lots of cool bars and restaurants, as well as a few clubs. Also check out Cameron Village (a neat shopping center, not a mall) and the NC State campus close by (nothing special to look at, though... too many bricks).

If you have a GPS unit, the best way to see the area is just to drive around (avoid I-40 during rush hour like the plague). There is a lot to see, but it's all spread out.
