Charleston, SC - 29401
.JPG)
Charleston, South Carolina, is a beautiful city to visit. There is much to see and do there. The first thing to do is a carriage tour. This will show you the most well-known historic sites.
As a grandma, one of my favorite spots in Charleston is The Children's Museum! This is a wonderful way to spend the day or part of a day with preschoolers. There is a room that contains part of an old boat and the children pretend to fish. Much fun! Another room is a knight's castle with dress-up clothes! A favorite room is the arts and crafts room with lots of craft materials! If you have little children, do not miss this fantastic museum!
