South Carolina


So Savvy and I just got back from a week in South Carolina last Wednesday, and it was funny to see the responses of people when I told them where I went. The most common reaction was "What did you go to South Carolina for?" Well, for those of you who haven't been there, here is why it is 1) an amazing place, and 2) a place you should plan a vacation to.

Why it's an amazing place:
- A ton of geographic diversity... mountains, swamps, lakes, rivers, marsh, and coast. Incredible.
- Good ol' southern hospitality
- Boiled Peanuts... don't dog it until you try it
- Great BBQ... best pulled pork on the planet
- Tons of history... I mean TONS
- Great beaches
- Wayne and Betty

Why you should plan a vacation here:
- Again, amazing beaches. Myrtle Beach, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Hilton Head Island, Folly Beach.
- Again, tons of history... Charleston is one of the oldest cities in the United States and it's where the Civil War started... 'nuff said.
- It's the most relaxing place to vacation
- Great restaurants and tons of things to experience... old southern plantations, the market, huge gardens, great golf, and the ocean.
- Amazing people

For those of you who want more information, here are links to the South Carolina Visitors Bureau and (my favorite) Charleston Visitors Bureau. Enjoy
