We always have a good time at Silver Lake Water Park. They have a nice lake with a beach for sunbathing. There is also a concession stand that sells ice cream, hot dogs and such. There is a very large water slide that you can ride. They also have some small motorized raft like boats that you can ride ( away from swimmers). There is a special shallow section for small children. There are some picnic tables set up a little ways from the lake where you can eat. Sometimes park staff dress up as large furry animals and once I think they put on a magic show. All in all, a fun place. I think you can buy season passes as well as one day admission passes.

My best friend had her seven bridesmaids dresses made for her recent wedding, for which I was maid of honor (and hence intensely involved in the fabric hunt). The staff at Sew Unique Sewing Center made finally finding the fabric a joy.
The store has an excellent stock of fabrics. They had at least some quantity of each of the different satins we were interested in, so we could see the hand of the fabric and the sheen to it. The staff people gladly helped us go through color cards and identify good potential matches in terms of fabric needs and color wants. Once we had it down to a few colors, the owner of the shop went outside with us to check and see how the colors looked in the sun from the card (it was an outdoor wedding - how clever of her to think of looking at them outside!), and advised us on how colors change when you look at a lot of it at once (as in a dress). She did not, however, try to push my friend into one color or another - which was great! She ordered the fabric over the phone while we were standing there and it arrived very quickly.
My only caveat was that the zippers we ordered did not come in as expected and they didn't let us know about this delay until we were expecting to pick up the zippers. Even then, they were most curteous, and even sent some of the zippers that did arrive to our apartment in Cary via a staff member who lived near us, to save us the half-hour drive each way.
I would highly recommend this fabric store for their selection, expertise, and willingness to special order as needed.

Excellent teachers, but watch out for the class sizes. Another thing to watch for is the very Southern nature of the school culture. All will be elegant and wonderful on the surface, while the reality will take longer to perceive. Also, while multiculturalism is widely admired as a goal, it is not a reality of the school.

Playspace Children's Museum offers a wonderful environment for young children. There are several rooms with different themes, space ship, pirate's boat, theater with dress up clothes, kitchen, ambulance and music room for example. They will host your child's birthday party. Hours are perfectly thought out for the typical child's schedule. They are open on Saturdays.

They are absolutely fabulous. You can tell they truly care for your children. The kids are learning and having so much fun doing it. This is a clean, secure facility where children are loved. The only place I've every left my child that just felt "right."

Great school. has a very good engineering program among many others. This is a place where natural college students & adult continuing education mbrs can truly live & enjoy learning. It's a nice campus to walk around, live around & romance around. Good location in the city with plenty of things to do on campus. Go Wolfpack.... Carolina SUCKS!
