The carousel and train are super affordable year round. They have a great little splash pad during the summer, and events all year!

Editions - Coffee and Bookstore
Susan runs the cutest gift shop! It has everything you need to gift a mom, dads, baby, besties, co-workers, you name it. They run really fun discount sales throughout the year AND most graphics and all candles are made in house!!

Open every Saturday morning, quick drive up the road from Kannapolis, and usually has a coffee truck (the best)! Get there early for the best bread and produce.

Wilmington/Carolina Beach
We stayed here during a trip to Wilmington and LOVED our stay. It was cozy, clean, had board games and puzzles (perfect to keep a kid entertained when it rains). Anytime we go back to the area I look to see if this place is available!

Gorgeous cabin tucked away in a gated neighborhood. There were games in the basement to keep a family entertained which was such a fun bonus! The home was clean, had everything we needed, overall a great place to relax and getaway with the family.
