| Two kids, 14 and 9. What are some must see things we should do? Also, any restaurant recommendations? My hubby is a huge beer enthusiast. Any good beer spots with lots of taps? The kids are old enough to stay by themselves in the Hotel for a few hours in the evening so hubby and I will be able to get away by ourselves for an evening or two. |

1. Take a carriage tour of the city
2. Eat at S.N.O.B. (Slightly north of Broad! 3. Stop referring to your husband as "hubby." |

Visit some of the beaches. Ferry to Fort Sumter (sp).
Eat out often and make reservations - great food! It's a college town so finding a place to have a beer shouldn't be tough. |

2nd the ferry to Fort Sumter.
Also, Bessinger's barbecue is really good. |

Noooo. Bessinger was a racist and a secessionist, and you don't want to eat in one of his (chain) restaurants. |

Visit the sites supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and take an interior tour of the homes. Very beautiful and unique.

If the kids can take a nice restaurant and behave, the Hominy Grill is fantastic.
Farther out and on the casual side, the Bowens Island Restaurant is a James Beard award winner, as casual as it gets and probably crowded at times, but incredible food. |

Each of the Bessinger brothers opened their own restaurants. Maurice was indeed a terrible person...he recently died....but he wasn't affiliated with the other brothers' restaurants. Anyway you should check out the Glass Onion. |

Closed for Business for best beer selection.
Poe's on Sullivan's Island - great laid back beach bar. Fort Sumter is fun. Walk the waterfront park. Ghost walk at night. Walking tour of historic district. Husk, SNOB, Fig are all great restaurants. |
