I would go to the beach myself, but if you want to cool off, go to Boone or Blowing Rock. It will be 10-20 degrees cooler there. It rarely gets above 85 and is usually in the 70s. Google tells me it's 69 there right now to Raleigh's 89.
Lynchburg, VA is just over the boarder & a very nice area. D-Day memorial, right near Appomatix, museums, etc. We really enjoyed the area.
Of course around here what is a 3 hour drive for me could be 5 for you depending on where in Durham/Raleigh you are.
The Zoo in Asheboro is a nice day trip. Many days they have extra tours or behind the scenes events that are a nice add on to the day.
Charlotte is just 3 hours (at least for us) and has a ton of museums, NASCAR hall of fame, greenways & events always going on.
Last suggestion would just be to grab an issue of 'Our State' Magazine & see if anything they mention is interesting to you & use that as the start of planning a get away. They cover so many cool & unique places in the state.

I wish this had been posted a few months ago. A day trip on the N&W 611
is incredible! They had several different excursions available. However it's done
now and I'm not sure they are going to do it any more?

I'm crushed.
