We took a girl's 40th birthday trip to Charleston SC. Went to Fort Sumter, and Moutrie, 2 plantations, Folley Beach, Charleston Tea garden, the outdoor market and King street, Black Fedora Comedy Club, numerous restaurants, and other hidden gems we found out about by talking to locals. We stayed at an Air BnB in North Charleston, and had a wonderful time.
