10 of the Most Beautiful Places To Visit In North Carolina

Does it really matter how high gas prices go? It's almost vacation season. My wife Debbie and I seem to have this talk year after year because when you have been in the same state for your entire life, you may not realize all it has to offer.

For example, take this great state of North Carolina.

We have a little of everything with the Great Smoky Mountains, the Foothills, the Piedmont, the Sandhills, Southern Coastal Plain and a huge stretch of Atlantic coastline.

Think of this. You could wake up in the morning, have breakfast, take in a few ski runs in the mountains, jump in your car and before the sun sets, you're swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.
