Jeebus man! If I would have known that, I would have looked at extending my stay after finishing work in the Raleigh-Durham area. Those states are all little, would have been an easy drive up and back.
...and you're right, it has been hot up there - over 100 each of the four days I was in the area. When I got back to Colorado last night, it was about 60 degrees, and I was wondering who had the air conditioning thermostat set so low!
