I didn’t get a chance to post on Groundhog Day so I missed using that in the title of this post, so I’ll pull out my high school poetry and quote Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind”.   But for the record, Sir Walter Wally did not see his shadow, which means spring is on the way!

Here are two of our favorite spring destinations in the Triangle – to be fair one: in Raleigh and one in Durham.

North Carolina Museum of Art

After viewing the diverse permanent collection at the North Carolina Museum of Art, which includes 30 sculptures by Rodin, be sure to stroll the grounds of Museum Park and picnic on the beautiful Ellipse lawn.

Sarah P. Duke Gardens

This wonderful 55-acre public botanic garden on the Duke University campus features a butterfly garden as well a special section filled with over 900 species and varieties of regional native plants.

Don’t be surprised to see us (and our mascot, both are dog friendly) there one nice day soon (after a visit to one of the many food trucks that dot the Triangle – something we will be blogging about as well).
