With uncertain economic times, many people are looking for getaways close to home. So, TLC is happy to offer Backyard Adventures, itineraries for discovering some of the natural and cultural jewels of the Triangle. We've combined explorations of natural areas with nearby dining opportunities and local culture.

It’s time for many families to gear up to go back to school. But let’s embark on one more adventure before a hectic academic schedule overtakes the family calendar! Check out Birds, Blooms and Baseball, TLC latest do-it-yourself tour of the Triangle. Pack up the kids, put a couple gallons of gas in the tank and come explore the Triangle with TLC's Backyard Adventures!

This is the last in our yearlong Backyard Adventure series. Can you believe it’s been a year already? While we will not continue to create a new itinerary each month, we do plan to add an occasional adventure here or there. And we plan to take out some of the old adventures once in a while, dust them off, and spruce them up with new side trips. In the meantime, we hope you continue to use this site as a resource for discovering the Triangle.
