I chose North Carolina as my vacation spot because of its amazing places and history. I am going to visit the outer banks where I can boogie board on the waves of the atlantic. I will also go the Great smokey mountains for hiking and white water rafting. I also plan on visiting the airborn and special forces museum to learn about the military. Have you ever heard of blackbeard well I'm guna go to the area where he lived and died. I'd like to visit a concert for blue grass because thats where it originated. Now you know why North Carolina is the place to go.
