It’s always fun to see what you might have missed in your own town. We spent the week traveling around Charleston and discovering things that we miss in our day to day activities.
Charleston is the most visited city in the country and a favorite destination wedding city. There’s lots to do here and bargains to be had.
No matter the city always research discounts online and also check out Restaurants.com before traveling. Groupon is also a great place to help stretch your travel dollars.
Come along with Scott, my retired sailor and I on our adventure. We know all the great hidden places to take you on this adventure. The settings for Army Wives filming, the old Navy Base, home of the Hunley, The Civil War Submarine that was recovered, the Breach Inlet on Isle of Palms, an old cemetery Muster grounds near St. George, South Carolina, hidden church yard cemetery’s that are missed as people walk down King Street or through downtown missing 99% of what Charleston has to offer. Let us take you on a tour of our town week by week we’ll take you to a new gem that most tourists will never find. We live here so have plenty of time to Explore.
One of the best kept secrets is Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island, home to Fort Moultrie and even Poe’s, named after Edgar Allen Poe who was stationed on the Island many, many years ago.
Breach Inlet where the Hunley was recovered.
Fort Moultrie looking with steeple of Stella Maris in the background.
A special look at the landing of Dewees Island. Many folks will never be allowed to see.
These two Islands are many times passed by as tourists rush to downtown and forget we have some beautiful barrier islands to explore. Many pass right by too on the way to Hilton Head Island but don’t miss these two gems. Island Realty, the largest vacation rental company on the two islands can help with lodging and should you decide you want to stay for the winter and become a snowbird they can even arrange an inexpensive extended stay for you. They are still family owned and operated and manage more than 400 vacation rentals on the two islands and even have getaways on Dewees Island, a place you can only go to by boat and you have to be a guest or renter to even travel there. Should you be fortunate enough to travel there look for the two mascots that live at the boat landing, McNugget the chicken and his best friend Top Cat, a beautiful black and white cat that accompanies McNugget as she strolls the landing.
We’ve got lots for you to see so don’t miss it. Please follow us and check as we continue your travel adventure and share money saving ideas for you getaways.
Hope to see you soon.
