This southern city on the coast of South Carolina is full of charm and history. It boasts of food, sun, churches, homes, and activities.

I was fortunate that in my pre-kid days that my friend, Michelle, lived in Charleston while I was living in Raleigh.

was able to visit her on quite a few occasions. We also had my friend Kara’s bachelorette party there. It is on my bucket list to the do the Bridge Run.

​She put together a list of some of her favorite things, and I added in mine as well.

Suggestions/Recommendations

  • Try fresh local shrimp.
  • Sample omelets from the Farmer’s Market.
  • Dine at Five Loaves Cafe.
  • Eat at any restaurant for that matter. The best restaurants are listed here.
  • Stroll down by the Battery and around the Pineapple Fountain.
  • Run the Ravenel Bridge.
  • Spend a day at the beach.
  • Walk around downtown and look at the houses, especially Rainbow Row
  • Watch the sunrise over the harbor or ocean.
