Busy weekend with Mom and Dad visiting from Annapolis this weekend. Guinness and Harper were delighted to have new playmates to torture. Based on our fun adventures, I've compiled a list of...
Some things to do while visiting Mebane, NC
- Back country road drive around Mebane, Haw River, Green Level and more - cows, goats, old barns, farm houses.
- Dinner at Natty Greene's in Greensboro - home of the new Wildflower Witbier, a Belgian style white brew that could easily become a favorite. Stuff to love: the T&A sandwich (turkey, avocado, cheese, wheatberry bread, cilantro mayo)
- Shopping at the Bass outlet at the BMOC - the Burlington Manufacturers' Outlet Center
- Locating native plants and good gardening advice at Mebane Shrubbery and Niche Gardens
- Browsing through antiques, reproductions and consignment goodies at the Elegant Relic in downtown Mebane. Rumour has it that the owner is working on opening a new restaurant a few blocks away. Maybe a place to visit on the next trip! We could use a more upscale dining location in town.
- Breakfast, good coffee and conversation on the patio at Strong's Coffee
- Dinner at Top of the Hill in Chapel Hill. Stuff to love: Shrimp & Scallop Angel Hair with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, spinach, and feta in a white wine herb sauce. I skipped the scallops and doubled the shrimp. This was probably one of the best pasta dishes I have ever tried. W thought that the Davie Poplar IPA was one of the best he's ever tried.
Hope you can join us sometime soon! Let me know if there are locations that should be added to the 'must see and do' list.
