Charleston Trip!

[Jeremy Igo]

Spent the weekend in Charleston and had such an amazing time. 

Dining, shopping, drinking...drinking.... 

Went to the SC Aquarium and got a behind the scenes tour. Met a loggerhead turtle which was amazing. 

Capped off the weekend at Sullivan Island Beach. 

I had never really done the Charleston thing before and I had just the best time. Highly recommend.

Great place, lived there for 10 years.  Was on Isle of Palms this weekend.  Lots of fun to be had down there.

Gutsy going to Chucktown in July. That's a good way to have a heat stroke. My wife graduated from CofC and I've spent a lot of time down there. Sullivan's Island is definitely the best low key beach in the immediate area IMO.

Been here for 13 years...and it's still hot.  One you're all history-ed out, it's a pretty dull joint.  Unless you want to go to church, then there's one on every corner.

Yeah, I really enjoy going back to visit but I honestly have no desire to live there. Too hot and the tourists are just overwhelming. The haves and have nots divide is a little disturbing too. Slavery basically still exists in Charleston.

The weather was nice down there this weekend. On Friday we drove in Charleston and did the horse tour and ate at Husk.

Spent the rest of the time at the beach

It's weird, I don't live that far from Charleston, but I almost never go there unless it's for a doctor's appointment. It's nice, plenty of things to do and yet, I never go for pleasure. That needs to change.

I have lived in Charleston for over 40 years I'm so ready to get away from this place.  I'm thinking about a small town in Kentucky on the Ohio river.   

 

I'm so sick of all these people.  Charleston was great before the great rush of Yankees moving here.  You could buy a decent house for a 100k a nice one near the beach on the island, lol not anymore!

You haven’t seen nothing yet.

Head slightly south to Kiawah Island. Might even find a plantation.

My wife graduated from CofC and we lived in Charleston for awhile. A good buddy of mine is a golf pro at Kiawah. I know it well. The entire SC lowcountry feels like that.

Charleston's a great city to visit for vacation. Been there several times since I was 5. I'm glad you checked out the aquarium & the shores. Kick ass sites. If I could make a suggestion, next time check out:
