Not so useful in December, but a great way to spend some free time in the summer. Play in the fountain for a while, go get some ice cream, wash those sticky hands in the fountain and play some more. And you don't actually have to go inside the mall at allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295965386468618384.post-70342152693263867302010-07-31T15:36:31.500-07:002010-07-31T15:36:31.500-07:00Thanks so much for all your comments!

(I've heard other good things about them.) <br /><br />We're also heading up to Northgate soon, so it's good to know about that Marble Slab. :)<br /><br />We'll definitely work on the summer camps and sports side of things and see what we can come up with. Most of our kids are a bit too young for most of it, but it's good to know what's out there!The Stir Crazy Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09287210188836755488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295965386468618384.post-88859676501149739122010-07-29T07:56:36.474-07:002010-07-29T07:56:36.474-07:00There is also a Marble Slab in Northgate Mall in t...There is also a Marble Slab in Northgate Mall in the same outdoor plaza as the theatres.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295965386468618384.post-53947049942006975522010-07-29T06:22:51.801-07:002010-07-29T06:22:51.801-07:00OH and I've got some topics for you guys to wo...OH and I've got some topics for you guys to work on :-) All of the different sports offered in the area and how to sign up and camps offered for holidays and summer.

They have delicious frozen custard (vanilla, chocolate and a flavor-of-the-day) that they'll mix with the toppings of your choice to create a Carolina Concrete. All the Goodberry's I've been to have outdoor seating surrounding a fountain, which is an added attraction for little ones (who can toss a few pennies in while you finish your last bites of frozen custard).<br /><br />Durham's sole Goodberry's is in North Durham, but there are a number of Raleigh locations that might be more convenient to South Durham. (The North Durham one is within walking distance of a Lowes - I used to combine the two and follow ice cream with a trip to Lowes to play in the fountains, look at flowers, check out Christmas decorations, or whatever else was in season).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
