Charleston Trip Terrific
As my post below indicates, I went to Charleston, S.C. at the beginning of the month. I enjoyed 50 degree weather with some sprinkles. The city was dressed for Christmas. Several historic homes had special Christmas events. The garden club had decorated one. They had candelight tours, with period actors, in another. I also attended a concert performed by the symphony and a very large gospel choir. That was great fun.
If you ever go, I suggest you read Slaves in the Family first. It will give you a more rounded history of the city. As many people came through the Charleston port as came through Ellis Island. The difference was their race and slave status.
I stayed in the Hampton Inn for about $125 on average per night. It has a central location near the museum, a historic house, and a good French restaraunt. If you need restaraunt recommendations, let me know. I collected all the recommendations from the New York Times and Southern Living over the last several years.
Great trip and plenty more to see next time I go.
