Wordless Wednesday Cary, NC

Lighted Fountain in Park at corner of S. Academy St. and Kildaire Farm Rd. 



Cary, NC is one of the south’s fastest growing towns and voted one of the best places to work and live in the country (Money Magazine). We visited there in the fall, and I'm finally able to post about it now.

I was so excited about going on the trip, that the night before I didn't sleep that well. Then, with fully packed airplane cabins during our connecting flights, we were anxious to land, stretch, and walk around.

My husband and I were grateful the downtown area, where our boutique hotel, the Mayton Inn, was located was only a quarter hour drive away from the airport. 





The Mayton Inn, in downtown Cary has custom built furnishings to reflect the feel of the 1920's, and environmentally responsible and green technologies were incorporated during construction and have been in place since it opened.



More About the Mayton Inn


Cary was a fun place for us to visit, because we spent quality time with family, had meals at delicious vegan friendly restaurants, and found great walking and recreational areas. 






We also discovered unique shops and things to do and see.







The revitalized downtown area has welcomed a fresh crop of new businesses, and is home to the Cary Arts Center and public library. Lovely homes, shops and restaurants, and street art line the brick walkways, with plenty of greenery interspersed.





Thanks for coming along with me to Cary, NC.

The quote for today follows: 

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
