Perfect Time To Travel To Charleston

Its Will Power Wednesday and lets focus on Wanderment:

I recently visited my brother in Charleston, South Carolina, he played host at his beautiful home. It was a mini get together with some of my siblings. I really loved seeing them. We went by the waterfront and saw the water taxis, dolphins (a dream for one of my sisters), at night went the dinner cruise and the food was spectacular. I started to get the traditional shrimp & grits but went for a braised beef dish that was more than delish. They even had a DJ on board who played music and sang while we ate. We went to the downtown farmer's market they have everything from soup to nuts and the historical Gullah baskets. The baskets ran for about $395. WOW. Also near the downtown market are horse carriage tours which are perfect for a romantic evening.

Charleston has a different vibe of its own from the food, the people strolling the street and men in their dress jackets and khaki pants and ladies in their sundresses. Charleston is the perfect place to visit. I would definitely go again.

Charleston, in the great state of South Carolina is a port city founded in 1670, has tons of cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and pastel antebellum houses, particularly in the elegant French Quarter and Battery districts. The Battery promenade and Waterfront Park both overlook Charleston Harbor, while Fort Sumter, a federal stronghold where the first shots of the Civil War were heard, lies across the water.

Here are a few things to do in Charleston:

Start your day with biscuits.

Start your day with a warm, indulgent biscuit. Choose from nationally acclaimed Callie's Hot Little Biscuit (which has two outposts downtown)

Learn about U.S. history on the USS Yorktown.

While the historic city is perhaps better known for its significance during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, you can learn about World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, where you'll find the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, a destroyer, and a submarine, along with other educational exhibits.

Walk down King Street.

A visit to Charleston is incomplete without a stroll down the main drag, King Street. On Lower King, find antique shops packed with all sorts of vintage wares; Middle King features a mix of locally owned shops and high-end boutiques; and Upper King is home to some of the city's best nightlife and dining.

Take a sunset cruise.

Getting out on the water — river, harbor, creek, or ocean — is a must when you visit Charleston. One way to take advantage of the waterfront location is a sunset cruise through the harbor aboard a catamaran or tall ship.
