If you know me, you know I love to travel. You also know that I don’t care where I’m going! I would travel just about anywhere except places where the State Department’s travel warnings are particularly grave. But I would go anywhere in the United States as long as it was free! You can win a Free Raleigh Giveaway from their Convention and Visitors Bureau. This opportunity brings you to a city that has been around since 1788, which has great weather year-round (average 38.9° in Janary and 77.1° in August). During the time that the fall getaway is offered, temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s!

It might seem that Raleigh is not a particularly interesting place to visit, but that’s not so! For children, there’s the new Marbles Kids Museum, which was formed by a merger of PlaySpace and Exploris museums. Anyone interested in history would enjoy the North Carolina Museum of History, there’s an art museum, and for those who love motorcycles, there’s the massive Harley Davidson Museum and dealership! There’s also more than 150 parks and recreation facilities.

If you win the giveaway, you’ll receive one night accommodations for two at the Courtyard by Marriott, a $25 gift certificate to the renowned Bloomsbury Bistro, and a pair of tickets for to the NC Theatre’s production of Man of La Mancha, the Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism exhibit at the art museum, and the upcoming Dinosaurs exhibit at the natural history museum. It’s free to enter, so have fun!
