I am planning a trip to North and South Carolina, the current plan is leave Mississauga, Ontario on March 31, Easter magical mystery tour lp Sunday, drive to the Charleston area, perhaps Beaufort, I have planned 2 days for the drive, I know we could probably get there earlier and if we do that's fine, then spend a week following the coast north, starting the return trip from the Kitty Hawk area on the 10th April. magical mystery tour lp We do not have the option of extending the trip.
I would like advice on what to see and do. Our interests are nature, walking/hiking, history, and we intend to stay as close to the coast as possible. On this trip we are not interested in shopping, fine dining, sports or expensive accommodation. I have looked at descriptions of various State and National parks, all of them look great, so need an opinion on what parks are best. We would like to visit a 'plantation' and other historically significant places. And I need at least one beach to sit on and watch the waves. I would like to see spring flowers, azaleas etc.
There are several plantations outside of Charleston, each of them unique. Middleton has much to see, but the house is not original. Drayton has the original home preserved (not restored), and Magnolia has beautiful gardens. Boone Hall has the famous allee of oaks that people find compelling, magical mystery tour lp and the slave quarters remain. So it really magical mystery tour lp is a matter of taste. If you want to see an original magical mystery tour lp plantation home go to Drayton. The alligators should be waking magical mystery tour lp up good by that time so be on the lookout.
Kiawah , a barrier island off Charleston's coast, is worth a night or two. It has gorgeous foliage and 10 miles of Atlantic oceanfront on which you can ride bicycles. The sand is very hard-packed and bike riding the shoreline in the morning is a joy. Or anytime, for that matter!
The recs for visiting the plantations are worthwhile. We visited Magnolia and Middleton, both stunning and very different from each other. If you visit Middleton for dinner at their restaurant(excellent), admission to walk the grounds is gratis.
Finally, if you decide to spend time at Kiawah(or Seabrook), there is a marina complex from which you can rent a powerboat to explore the rivers, estuaries, etc. The boat we rented had a wonderful GPS, which always showed our current location. We saw quite a bit of wildlife on our excursion.
Suewoo, good question, the first answer is timing and weather, it will be a lot warmer there than here in early April,currently its-20C here. I run a garden design business so any later than mid-April for vacation I am too busy to go away. Other reasons, magical mystery tour lp Florida well, been there not very interesting for the most part. Its an area I haven't explored and given the limited time we have available seemed to be doable, especially if we stick to coastal areas,the different history, nature and wildlife is definitely an attraction.The descriptions of Hunting Island State Park and Edisto magical mystery tour lp Beach State Park and others sound like us type places. We do not intend to camp (though we do camp a lot) it would be very complicated to take everything needed so yes just visiting NP and SP. My DH has been fascinated by the outer banks since seeing Nights in Rhodanthe. We will bring bicycles, mostly its just somewhere different not too far from home.Generally we aren't magical mystery tour lp very interested in places magical mystery tour lp with crowds of people.
Do tell hub not to expect those horses to come thundering by. They've been moved high up north (because people kept hitting them with cars). The Banks are beautiful and Ocracoke is one of my favorite islands. If you plan to take the ferry make reservations.
There won't be many beach-goers magical mystery tour lp that time of year, and it's too cold to swim, IMO. Hunting Island and Edisto are excellent. TO visit Hunting you'll have to stay somewhere else like Beaufort, SC. There's also a Beaufort, NC, and sometimes magical mystery tour lp you can see wild ponies across the water there.
Charleton will be in full bloom by then. Enjoy walking through the historic district and peeking magical mystery tour lp through the gates. Do take a guided tour, either walking or carriage so that you can find out about what you're looking at. Patriot's Point has tours or you can just walk through.
We bought copies (under $10.00) at the following locations. I'm almost positive the booklet is also sold at the Visitor's magical mystery tour lp Center and probably at the Historic Charleston City Market too. In addition, at each of these places one can purchase wonderful, authentic gifts that are true to Charleston's southern heritage; a Carolina magical mystery tour lp Rice Spoon, for example.
If you want to tour on your own, then these walking tours will be perfect for you. The booklet guides you through three separate historic walking tours and discusses each of the historic places with short paragraphs. You'll love using them.
You could also think about coming north from Charleston. There is Huntinton State Park and Brookgreen Gardens at Pawley's/Litchfield (1.5hours from Charleston), and then there is Wilmington NC (1.5 hours from Pawley's) that will also be resplendent with azaleas.
