Charleston, South Carolina

    Thinking about taking the family down for the week of July 4th. Anyone ever been there? Worth the trip?

    Very nice place to spend a long weekend.

    I love it there. Going that same week. I lived there for 3 years during college. The beach is going to be paaaacked on the 4th. And to Folly there is only a 2 lane road in. Could be a long wait if you choose to go on that day. I think it is better than Savannah.

    Hope this helps.

    I wish I could help you more right now...I have only been once.

    But, I will talk to my friend that LOVES it down there -- he's the one I went down there with. He'll know all the good spots.

    Take a ghost tour. Even if you don't believe in that kind of stuff, the stories are pretty cool.

    How old are the kids, They have a quaint children's museum.

    An excellent recommendation. Sticky Fingers has some great BBQ as well.
