Things To Do
We welcome anyone who can come early the week of Aug 17-23 leading up to the Bat Mitzvah. We would love to spend time together exploring and enjoying summer activities. Here are some activities we're hoping to organize:
- Lazy river tubing - Tentative on Thursday Aug 22
- Eno River State Park ~ Hiking, swimming holes, relaxing
- North Carolina Museum of Art and Art Park ~ Acres of greenway, huge sculpture gardens, walking paths, and picnic spots.
- There is plenty to do around here, but also many amazing beaches 2-3 hours away - and mountains in the other direction.
