Oh man....you'll love Charleston! The city just oozes history out of its pores. We usually stay out of town a ways to reduce motel costs. If that is not an issue, in-town motels abound. Eating....Good Lord, good restaurants everywhere. I'd look at Hank's, Charleston Crab House, Bowen's Island (out in the boonies). Hyman's is good but "touristy" . They place engraved plates on tables where celebs ate...I sat in Barbara Strisand's chair, Neil Diamond's and someone elses one time. Wifey sat in Mel Gibson's chair, James Brown's and....John McCain's.
Ft. Sumter is good to visit. Lots of area plantations. Patriot's Point (aircraft carrier Yorktown).
