At the beginning of the year my parents and I made a quick trip to Charleston, South Carolina. We had never been there before but had heard a lot of positive things about it. Spoiler alert: We liked it! I am not easily impressed with most places. I don't try to be picky but I don't know, I just like places that are interesting or unique and not super touristy and Charleston was actually impressive. While it is a very touristy place it didn't feel like a tourist trap. Especially since we were there at the beginning of January. There really weren't too many people. Although I'm sure it's crazy during the warmer months!
That said, we thought visiting at the beginning of January would mean the weather wouldn't be so humid, but boy were we wrong! Both mornings we were there we woke up to fog and 100% humidity that stayed pretty high all day long. So while the temperature itself wasn't so bad (in the 70's) the humidity was higher than we were expecting.
We stayed just across the Arthur Ravenel bridge in Mount Pleasant and drove into Charleston around 9:30ish. I had found a parking garage the night before while looking at Google maps that was most convenient for us so we parked and started walking around.
There were hardly any people out and about so it was a nice and quiet morning exploring. We stopped for some coffee and just kind of wandered around. I had a found a few places I wanted to visit, landmarks and such, but for the most part we just wanted to wander around.
During our walking around we came across the Dock Street Theater. Which is the oldest theater in the US and dates back to 1736.
Have you ever visited Charleston?
