Sean and I have been planning on taking a trip for quite some time now.¬† For my birthday (22nd) we’re heading up to Atlantic City for a few days because they’ve offered me 6 comped rooms on top of a few hundred dollars in slot cash to load into the machines.¬† The trick with that is you can cash out after one roll and then walk away from them and enjoy the free money.¬† But this is me we’re talking about, so by the time I do cash out $50 will have already been put into the machines.

After that, however, we’ve been considering more of a relaxing vacation.¬† The casino is great and all because it’s free, but we’d kind of like to go somewhere we haven’t gone before.¬† We’ve been looking south because the north has already had our attention for so long.¬† My sisters boyfriend lives in North Carolina and he’s been telling us about Raleigh, NC because of all it has to offer.¬† I just recently found out about some pretty interesting giveaway from visitraleigh.com.¬† They’re currently offering a pretty cool package deal.¬† You register for the free drawing and if your name is chosen you’re given the following:
