June 4 (Friday), 9AM: Day Trippin' to Simply Natural Creamery near Ayden!

We will start with a 10AM farm tour which includes a visit to the milking barn, processing center, a wagon ride around the farm, an opportunity to pet baby calves and even a chance to milk a cow. Also included in the tour is a free sample of some delicious Simply Natural ice cream. After our tour, we will enjoy a laid-back picnic lunch in the well-maintained Simply Natural picnic area. We are bringing all the food and beverages for the picnic, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy! You will also have time to purchase more ice cream or any of the gifts or daily products in the Simply Natural store. Save up your calories so you can eat lots of ice cream!

July 30 (Friday), 9AM: Boardwalk & Boats!

Join us as we travel to Wilmington for lunch at one of the great boardwalk seafood restaurants along the waterfront. Feel free to eat in the same restaurant with your chaperones or break off to any of the other restaurants in the area. After lunch, we will step aboard the white and blue double-decker Henrietta for a relaxing, informative and scenic cruise on the Cape Fear River. Upon leaving the dock, we will cruise upriver to the forks of two major rivers then head south past Historic Wilmington, the Battleship North Carolina and Eagles. During the cruise, the captains will give you a snapshot of Wilmington’s history from the early explorers to Modern day ships from all over the world and more. The Henrietta has an enclosed (air-conditioned) lower deck and an open, covered upper deck. After our 1PM cruise, we will head back to Goldsboro. We will take a restroom/stretch break at the Duplin County Rest Area near Warsaw.
