Right now we're looking at Robbinsville, NC to be our home base for about 4 days, then maby heading towards the Ocean since only one of us have seen it.

We thought about Robbinsville but it's located in Graham county and that is a dry county. We like to sip on a few of an evening so we decided to stay at the Jonathan Creek Inn in Maggie Valley. Several bars and grills there. Some have suggested Gatlinburg. Not sure I want to mess with the traffic in that area.
