Fall is here with all it's glory displayed in bright crimson reds of the maple trees. There are plenty of fall festivals across the country to enjoy, but what I love are the colors of the deciduous trees reflecting in water.
North Carolina has beautiful fall colors to enjoy and Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina is not far from numerous sailing destinations, so it could make a great vacation spot. If you're planning a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina you just may have a shot at winning some free accommodations! Mamma Mia! You certainly would not complain if you were to register and win some free tickets and hotel room to relax around Raleigh.
You could access sailing from the Triangle Lakes area or head further out to the coast to go sailing there. If you're into bird watching, fall is also the time to catch the hawks flying south too. As I sit here knowing our temperatures outside are in the mid 50's where I'm located, yet in the 80's this week in Raleigh it sounds like a nice warm place for an adventure. With over five lakes to access in Raleigh it would be a great way to cool off on a hot day.
One reason I'm writing about this registration for a possible freebie, is because a trip to Raleigh just might be what I'll be doing in the near future due to a business opportunity, but it could also serve as a great fall getaway too!
Here's another fun thing to check out if you go there. With the registration for the getaway, if you win you would also receive 2 tickets to the dinosaurs and ancient fossils, discoveries at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences. That sounds like a fun event to me in addition to traveling the shores of their lakes. From bird watching to checking out dinosaur fossils and sailing, it could be a fun trip for your family.
Treasure!
