I have been through North Carolina several times, sometimes just passing through and sometimes making some serious stops.
My first time was in 1962 and we traveled from South Carolina along US 29.
Of course I have done all of I-95 and all of I-85.
We have stayed in Chapel Hill visiting my sister's friends attending college there.
I have done the Smokies and Cherokee a couple of times.
I have done all of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
One time with the children, I entered North Carolina on US 17 and traveled through the Dismal Swamp. We worked our way over to Goldsboro (as I am partial to BOROs) where we spent the night. we then headed down to Wilmington and then back on 17 towards South Carolina.

In 2009, I went to Cape Hatteras for Easter weekend. "Must sees" include the Wright Brothers National Memorial, Jockey's Ridge Sate Park and, of course, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
At Jockey's Ridge, there are massive sand dunes and it is a great place to "go fly a kite".
There are several beaches that you can drive on and on the northern end, there are homes that are only accessible by driving for several miles on the beach.
When I left Cape Hatteras, I drove along the North Carolina/Virginia border mostly on 158.
I will be posting more photos on my 2009 blog.
