hawks give you good reason to cheer on a hot, Saturday evening! The experience is for the whole family according to Art Johnson, general manager. "Before the games it is like the old-fashioned days of tailgating with picnics and kids kicking the ball around," he said. The WakeMed Soccer Park seats 10,000 people. The Railhawks are a part of the North American Soccer league and play against teams from Miami, Tampa, and Minnesota. "The New York Cosmos are joining the league this summer!" boasted Johnson. Raleigh's downtown also has seen significant changes in recent years. Restaurants and art galleries have opened through the area. Fayetteville Street and Glenwood South offer many eateries and boutiques. On a summer night one can find plenty to do simply by wandering around! Durham If someone in your family likes science, sports, theatre, flowers, jazz, or wild animals then a trip to Durham should make everyone happy. One of Durham's most well known places to visit is the Museum of Life and Science. The museum is ready for the summer with special exhibits such as 'Into the Mist.' "We have 420 misters," said Julie Rigby, vice president of external relations. "You trigger them with buttons and they create a really thick mist you can't see through. They are fun to play with and they cool you off too," she added. To greet you on the half-mile Dinosaur Trail are late Cretaceous period dinosaur models that are scientifically accurate. "We also have 300 tons of new fresh fossil materials outdoors were children can look for sharks teeth and other marine fossils," said Rigby. The fossils are 5 to 23 million years old. Bright, colorful butterflies and tropical plants await you at the museum's Butterfly Magic House. The house is a 5,000 square foot conservatory. It's 1,000 tropical butterflies and 250 species of tropical flowers combine to make the house a beautiful place to visit.
