Eat at any number of really good restaurants.
Go to the Ackland Art Museum at UNC and/or the Nasher at Duke, a 20-minute drive.
Wander all over the UNC campus; be sure to stop in at the Morehead Planetarium.
Take out a boat at University Lake or the Eno River.
Check out at Southern Season, Chapel Hill’s answer to Zabar’s.
Visit Duke Gardens and Duke Chapel, hike in Duke Forest.
Go to the renovated American Tobacco Warehouse in Durham and/or take in a Durham Bulls game.
Take a (20-minute) ride over to Fearrington Village in Pittsboro and see the cows, hang out in the bookstore and garden shops. If it’s a special occasion, eat at the Fearrington Inn, a 5-star restaurant. If you can afford it, spend a night at the Inn!
If you like to shop, The Streets at Southpoint in Durham is a decent mall.
Hear a classical music concert at UNC or Duke and/or some “bluegrass on the porch” at the Carolina Inn.
See an art film at the Chelsea Theatre.
If all else fails, drive another 2.5 hours and go to the beach (Wrightsville in Wilmington)!
