Me too, I've never been there but it's on to do list too.
If you where going for a drive at the weekend, approx 2-3 hours from Charlotte.
Where would you go and why?
I've been to the SC coast (Charleston, Myrtle Beach, IOP, etc.) and the NC Mountains and Foothills (Boone, Banner Elk, Linville, etc.) and a whole lot in between..and of course I love it all...but 3 places I really want to go to but haven't had a chance as of yet:
Wilmington, Cape Fear and Beaufort NC, but that it's more like a 3 to 4 hour drive. Those coastal cities have so much southern charm to them and I'm a sucker for those old 19th century picturesque homes.
Charleston and SummerVille is another weekend trip I take in the summer.

As much as you know I LOVE the mountains, save that trip for the heat for the summer. I too recommend Charleston for this weekend. You can be there in an easy 3 hours and you would enjoy it so much more in spring weather than in the heat of summer. Walk the streets, soak in the history and wonderful architecture and then take your pick of some of the most scrumptous meals to be had all over the place. Personally I like Slightly North of Broad - go for the crab cakes! yum
Most drives 2 to 3 hours from Charlotte can get you to the mountains, but the coast is definitely a little further. To get to Myrtle Beach, SC, its 4 to 5 hours.
