destination of the week
charleston, south carolina

Charleston, South Carolina, abounds with museums, restaurants, beaches and boating excursions. This living port city with a deep and complicated past presents endless opportunities for combining fun and frolic with educational – even sobering – activities. Charleston's Fort Sumter lays claim to the first shot fired in the American Civil War. Today, visitors can enjoy a ferry ride to this pivotal site converted into a National Monument.
Of course, the best way to immerse yourself in the city is to do as Charlestonians do and stroll downtown. Walking south down King Street, past bars, boutiques, and Southern-style restaurants, you'll end up at two key points of interest: the city's defensive seawall called The Battery and an enchanting stretch of Southern live oaks in White Point Garden. From there, meander past stately three-story mansions or into the French Quarter where homes are still lit by flickering gas lamps. While walking can be an easy self-guided family-friendly activity, Charleston offers myriad walking tours that take you deeper into the stories of the past. Museum homes like the Georgian-style Heyward-Washington House or the Greek Revival-style Edmondston-Alston House, delve even further into the lives of the city's war-era residents and the urban enslaved.
If you've had your fill of Rainbow Row and the Charleston City Market, take a break for lunch or dinner at the city's nearby beaches, whether north over the cable-stayed Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge to Sullivan's Island or south to Folly Beach. Further afield, must-see stops include Magnolia Plantation & Gardens and Middleton Place, especially in early spring when the azaleas pop in hues of fuchsia and the live oaks draped in Spanish moss offer a graceful canopy of shade. Other must-visits include the centuries-old Angel Oak tree and Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, both year-round activities. Of course, no visit to Charleston would be complete without a food tour and an afternoon on a boat because eating and sailing are fundamental to the local way of life.
