Road trip to Raleigh, NC...Whats it like there? Should I try somewhere else? If so, whats a good place? -

Hello! I am planning on take a tiny road trip over my Christmas break. I just want to get out the state for once, and take my boyfriend to see snow for the first time. (If possible, if not, it s alright.) I live in the Tampa Bay area in Florida, and I was thinking maybe Raleigh/Cary, NC would be good... but am unsure about if that s a nice place to go. And also if there s another place that would be worth going to that s not on the other side of the country. (I dont have a very long break.)Please let me know! All considerations welcome. Thanks =]xo

When I used to live there there was a saying... Raleigh. It s a great place to live but you wouldn t want to visit there. So while that isn t totally true, Raleigh isn t really a tourist destination (but it IS an incredible place to live).But you ll find stuff to keep you busy for a couple of days.Don t count on seeing snow. It s a pretty moderate climate. You might do better going to Asheville.

Raleigh is beautiful with plenty of things to do. Here s the website for events during the Christmas break.http://www.visitraleigh.com/

i would go to myrtle beach myself. or maybe charleston, sc. raleigh is ok at best. if you want a chance at snow, chattanooga, tn is better and on 75 so it is straight north from tampa.
