Sunday: What does summer drive you to do? Why, a road trip, of course. You can check the lists on this page, or simply toss a dart at a regional map.
We suggest: Hawksbill Mountain off N.C. 181. This quick hike offers a stunning drive and a little exercise.
Directions: Take N.C. 181 north to Gingercake Acres. Scan the right side of the road for the Hawksbill Trail sign.
Monday: Yuck it up with "Dinner for Schmucks." Every Monday evening should end in a laugh and this silly flick promises nothing but. The premise: an exec can win a prize if he shows up to his boss's dinner party with the biggest buffoon.
Rated: PG-13
Starring: Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis
Tuesday: Let a kid play in the Catawba County Library's Wii Fishing Tournament and you've got a day of fun with the chance of a prize.
