3 Must Do’s on Your Next Charleston Trip

3 Must Do's on Your Next Charleston Trip

Do you have a trip planned soon to Charleston, SC? If you do, I have 3 things that you need to add to your list! One of the things took me a few years to finally give in because I honestly thought I would hate it, but I ended up loving it! Let me know if you can guess which one of the 3 you think it might be! So, what are the 3 must-dos for your next Charleston trip?! Let’s go!

A vacation to me typically involves rest and relaxation! I am not usually the first one to raise my hand to say let’s go sightseeing or have my days planned out. But I will say if you are planning on coming to visit Charleston, I would add these 3 places to your list of things to do! They are fun and you still get to relax for the most part!

Some links may be affiliate links. That means I may make a commission if you use my links to purchase, at no extra added cost to you! I only recommend products that I personally love and believe in.

Horse Drawn Carriage Ride

This is one thing that I wish I had not waited so long to do! On one of my sister Holly’s visits, we finally took a carriage tour. I highly recommend them. There are several different companies in Charleston to choose from, we went with Old South Carriage Co. You can click here to check them out. I highly recommend them.

On most tours, they will take you through the historical district where you will learn about architecture, churches, historical homes, and gardens. It may sound boring but trust me when I say it is not!

A few fun facts for you:

  • Charleston is one of South Carolina’s oldest cities.
  • It is referred to as a “Holy City” because it has over 400 church steeples and the city is known for its many different church denominations.
  • What is the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery? A graveyard is a burial ground connected to a church. A cemetery is a stand-alone place where people can be buried that do not have to be associated with a church.
3 Must Do's on Your Next Charleston Trip

Historic City Market

Even if you don’t like to shop you will want to go and check out the city market! The City Market goes all the way back to the days when the plantations were active. This is where they would bring their meat, vegetables, and seafood to be bought and sold.

Something that makes the city market even more special is that all the vendors are 100% local and 100% of the items for sale are locally made. You can find an amazing range of items here, anything from artwork, cookbooks, baskets, handmade crafts, to jewelry. If you are looking for a unique souvenir this is the place to go!  

Check out their Facebook page here for more information and “like” their page to get all their updates! You can also go to their main website here to find more information.

Pineapple Fountain

If you know anything about me, you know I love pineapples! If you missed that memo, you can read more about that in a blog post that I did a while back, Pineapples| The Symbolism and Why They are Special to Me!

We have a fountain here in Charleston that is located at the Waterfront Park along the Cooper River. It is basically at the tip of downtown Charleston. It is one of my favorite places to take friends and family members visiting for the first time. The fountain is gorgeous and a great photo opportunity! But it is not just a fountain, they also have a pier that you can take a walk along. The pier has some super cute swings on it where you can sit and relax and just look out at the water. The park is within walking distance of a lot of shops and restaurants.

If you would like to check out more information about Waterfront Park you can click here!

3 Must Do's on Your Next Charleston Trip

So, have you been lucky enough to do any of these 3 adventures in Charleston? I wish I had not waited so long to go on a carriage ride tour. We learned so much about the history of Charleston. Please feel free to share any ideas that you have below in the comments!

        Last fall when in Charleston the pineapple fountain was broken, a lot if restaurants and shops closed, the parking meter situation was awful. Would have liked a better experience

Planning on moving soon? 🏡 I have recently been on both sides, getting my house ready to sell and scouring the market for a new home. People sometimes make the mistake of not being able to overlook easy cosmetic changes in a new home. I love to decorate so I can look past that. My wheels start turning with all kinds of ideas! 🤯

Today over on Hello South Blog I am sharing: 𝟓 𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥

These ideas are easy and you don’t even have to be selling a home to use some of the ideas! I even have a super handy shoe organizer linked that you might want to check out!

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈… Some periods in our lives are stormier then others. Honestly it has been a stormy year for us. What is it that they say, get knocked down 9 times, get up 10 💪🏻
•
I debated sharing this most recent storm with y’all but I thought some of you might eventually notice a change in scenery! My husband found out in February that his company was going to eliminate his entire department. Unfortunately he has not been able to find a new job in the Charleston area. We were blessed that he was offered a position with a new company in the St Petersburg, Florida area. So as much as we love Charleston and had long term plans here we will be moving. 🏡
•
Things that I know for sure:
✨ God has something different planned for us and we need to trust in his plan. 🤍
✨ I can handle a lot more stress then I ever thought I could. 
✨ Things could always be worse, we have our health. 
✨ People judge, they think they know what is going on but they really have no idea. So let them judge and think they “know” but only one opinion really matters and He sees your heart. 🕊 Just keep shining ✨
•
So stay tuned friends! Lots of changes are coming in a very short period of time! We’ve got this! 🙌🏻
