While you're in the OBX, be sure to visit The Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo http://elizabethangardens.org/visitorinfo_directions.aspx There's a great little sandwich shop right in the center of town with a unique gift shop next door with great garden 'decorations' !

If you're up for a trip to Raleigh for the day - be sure to visit JC Raulston Arboretum if you've never been there http://www.ncsu.edu/jcraulstonarboretum/index.php. Looks like they're having a great event on Saturday, September 15th - JC Arborfest http://www.ncsu.edu/jcraulstonarboretum/calendar/event_detai...

Hope these links are helpful to you. Just remember to take LOTS of pictures and take some time to relax on the beach with Florida's great sunsets! Searching for these sites and pictures brings back lots of wonderful memories - I already told you, but I AM SO ENVIOUS - Have a great trip!
