More Than Just the Main Event...

We are honored to have you share the weekend with us in a place that means so much to both of us individually and as a couple.  We are also super excited to show the out-of-towners the charm of the Durham area. 

We encourage you to explore the area while you are here for the weekend.  Here are some of our recommendations:

Take a walk through Duke's campus and check out the Chapel and, of course, Cameron Indoor Stadium

Take in the scenery at the Sarah P. Duke Memorial Gardens

Catch a flyball at a Durham Bulls' game

Make new primate friends at the Lemur Center

Shop and eat in restored tobacco warehouses in the American Tobacco Historic District

Brush up on your Civil War history at Bennett Place Historic Site

North Carolina Side Trips

Durham isn't the only site North Carolina has to offer!  For anyone who wants to make a trip out of the weekend, North Carolina is a great summer destination for whatever you're into! 

Anyone craving sun, sand and surf should head east to the Outer Banks. 

• Visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk
• Climb the lighthouse at Cape Hatteras
• For the golf aficionados among you, the Outer Banks have lots of options 

For those who love the mountains, The Great Smokey Mountain National Park is an easy and beautiful four-hour drive to western North Carolina.

• Stop in Asheville on the way to visit the Biltmore Estate and grab a bite to eat at Tupelo Honey
• One of America's most scenic drives, the Blue Ridge Parkway connects to the Great Smokey Mountains to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia (and can be accessed at various points along the way)
