mini vacation: North Carolina

I arrived in Raleigh around noonish (I should have been here at 10.20am but the plane had a bad sensor that wasn't discovered until takeoff and then we had to wait for maintenance to arrive from... somewhere) anyway, rented a car and drove to JC Raulston Arboretum at NCState. Also visited WRAL Azalea Gardens - a radio/TV station has these wonderful gardens on their property - very impressed.

Anyway - per normal, I have pics!
