Hehehe :)</p> <p>Dunno, I've never been. DH says Fort Sumter, Middleton Place, Battery Park, the USS Yorktown, and tons more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-799227 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:05:09 +0000 CibMomma 799227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second Husk for cocktails then dinner! Yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-793581 Sun, 19 May 2013 02:05:48 +0000 lemondrop 793581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it there! We go every few years to Kiawah Island nearby and will be going again at the end of July, I can't wait!!</p> <p>My biggest travel advice is not to pack your days too tight if you have your baby with you. I usually only get 1/4 of what I planned done before wearing out and giving up. </p> <p>Like everyone says, you can walk around there for a long time and not get bored.<br /> The Market is one of my favorite places<br /> Hominy Grill is fantastic!<br /> Charleston Riverdogs is a great minor league baseball experience<br /> Angel Oak is amazing, a huge ancient oak tree outside of town<br /> South Carolina Aquarium- I'm excited to take our little guy here!<br /> The haunted walking tours are lots of fun, but may not be feasible with a baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-793102 Sat, 18 May 2013 14:17:34 +0000 PrincessBaby 793102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charleston is one of those cities that you can just mosey around and have a lot of fun.. Just tinkering around as my DH and I call it. It's so fun to just walk around and lookat everything and stop here and there for some good food and a drink:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-793099 Sat, 18 May 2013 14:14:54 +0000 PrincessBaby 793099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wander King St, I second the carriage tour! Also if you will be there on a Sat they have a fantastic farmers market in the square off king st that has to s of food vendors and booths and families out with their LOs. They even have a couple of cute baby/children's clothes vendors.</p> <p>My favorite 2 restaurants are actually not fancy at all. They're just fun places w/really good food. Kickin Chicken (best wings and chicken ever!) and LaHa Mexican, both on King. LaHa has a ridiculous cheap happy hour that I think starts at 4 everyday.</p> <p>We are moving there next month- ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-793089 Sat, 18 May 2013 14:05:52 +0000 sumer08 793089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my favorite places!! Definitely take a walking tour, a carriage tour, and the harbor boat tour. You will LOVE it!! Gorgeous city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-792602 Sat, 18 May 2013 06:59:56 +0000 matador84 792602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Patriots point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-792601 Sat, 18 May 2013 06:55:34 +0000 aprk 792601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: gotcha :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-792592 Sat, 18 May 2013 06:27:05 +0000 luckypenny 792592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: super walkable! Parking is kind of a nightmare but do able. But I never really venture out of downtown so I think walkin is fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-792470 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:13:14 +0000 aprk 792470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: btw we are staying downtown but I don't know how walkable stuff is, especially if it's hot with a baby.

If you are going out for drinks I really like proof- they have some great specialty cocktails. Hubs hit fort Sumter the last time we were there but I like walking around downtown by the market and shopping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-in-charleston#post-792144 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:40:03 +0000 aprk 792144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A and I are accompanying my husband on a work trip to Charleston. Any recommendations on what we should do/see/eat while there? I've never been, so I'm open to any tips or info! </p>
