North Carolina is known for its delicious barbecue, so of course we had to visit the legendary restaurant The Pit. Known for its pit-cooked barbecue and southern sides, The Pit did not fail to live up to our family’s expectations. We went on a Sunday night and the place was packed. (Note to self: make … Read More
I can barely believe that it has been a few weeks since our family visited North Carolina on our mini media trip. This summer is passing by so quickly! Anyway, I have already mentioned some of the free museums that we had the pleasure of visiting, but I also wanted to share about Marbles Kids … Read More
After our time at the Nature Research Center and The Daily Planet Café Raleigh, we went to the Wells Fargo IMAX Theatre to watch a showing of To The Arctic 3D. The movie theater was so cool (temperature-wise), clean and comfortable that it was hard for me to stay awake. Fortunately, the movie that we … Read More

I explained to him that … Read More
Here is a peek at the Raleigh Marriott City Center where we are staying for our family trip that is being sponsored by The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau this weekend:
Despite a few (okay, more than a few) “Are we there yet?” questions, the first couple of days of the Coleman family road trip have been great. We stopped at my sister’s house in VA last night and slept there. This morning and afternoon was spent with my family in Virginia. My family is very … Read More
