To Raleigh or not to Raleigh?

That is the question.


No, no, we're still planning on moving, don't panic! I'm just thinking of planning a summer trip to Raleigh in the beginning of August. Sure, we will probably suffocate from the impending heat, but I say LET'S DO IT! We had talked about traveling there briefly but dismissed the idea when I priced it out. However, thanks to TripAdvisor (my new best friend, sorry Pinterest) it seems that a Friday-Monday trip there may be a little more affordable than previously anticipated! Plus, I feel a little more comfortable now that I'm a working woman and not pulling in a solid 20 hours at an internship. 


Here's some places I want to see:
Raleigh's City Market: charming shops and restaurants. 
Lake Lynn Park: I love parks, and running shirtless men. (Kidding.. kidding.)
Raleigh's Farmer's Market: my, my, what nice gourds you have!
Raleigh's Museum of Art: I have a new found love of museums. I attribute this to Dan.
Umstead Park: Like I said, I love parks! I also really enjoy hiking. 
Here are some of the places I want to eat at:
The Pit: is a must eat. A. Dan and I love BBQ. B. Dan and I love Adam Richman of Man V. Food who has eaten there.
The Glenwood Grill: got great reviews on TripAdvisor and looks like a relaxing, nice place to eat.
Locopops: some cute little popsicle place. Perfect for an August day. 
18 Seaboard: look how yummy that looks!? Maybe this could be our celebratory dinner for finding the place we want to live. 


Have any fun summer trips you're thinking of taking!? There's nothing like traveling.
