I am making my first of what will be two or three trips to WS this weekend. Most trips will be short with 2-3 nights. Anything fun to do around the city or in driving distance? It will be me and the wife + 13/15 y/o kids. My fear is the 15 y/o will be bored. Thanks in advance.

I live in Winston-Salem. Hopefully you're staying downtown. 4th St and Trade St are the happening streets with breweries and restaurants. Foothills Brewery is the local brewery and one of the best in North Carolina. The original RJ Reynolds building has been recently renovated into a Kimpton Hotel "The Cardinal". It's a really cool Art Deco building that was designed by the same architect as a scale model of the Empire State building. It predates The Empire State Building and it sends the RJR Building a Father's Day card every year. The restaurant and bar are really good and you can dress fairly casual. Old Salem dates back to the 1700s and is similar to Williamsburg or Old Philadelphia. It's a very pleasant part of town. There are a couple of cool new parks "Artivity On the Green" on Trade St and "Bailey Park" in the old RJR district. Both are modern and innovative. Google them. Mast General Store on Trade is a destination. They have other locations in Asheville, G'ville SC and Blue Ridge Mountains. There's usually alot going on in the summer downtown. Let me know if you're looking for something specific and I'll try to help. Keeping a teenager intrigued may be the difficult part. "Camel City BBQ Factory" has a pretty cool game room upstairs with all kinds of arcade games (new and retro).
