Me and my husband for vacation planning. What are the best seats for the best deals available to travel to visit?

South Carolina is a great place to vacation. We have everything. Beaches, lakes, mountains, water parks, historic sites, plantations, battleships, racetracks, shopping, a multitude of restaurants, golf courses, (adult or miniature) and festivals.
Trying to keep a vacation to a budget can be stressful. Most of South Carolina’s historic sites are inexpensive to see (but well worth the trip). From Rainbow Row & the Battery in downtown Charleston, to the U.S.S. Yorktown (retired aircraft carrier) & Fort’s Moultrie & Sumter in the Harbor. From Beaufort, (shrimpboats & Gullah traditions) to Edisto Island, Isle of Palms & Sullivan’s Island (small uncrowded beaches) to Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasent (Many movie’s have been shot here) to Brook Green Gardens (beautiful flowers & sculptures). Myrtle Beach is a legend;.. Water parks, Ripleys Aquarium, Nascar Cafe, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe(in the shape of a pyramid-(you can go in & look around without eating- *food is pricey)…They are opening a Hard Rock Theme Park there in June also)..Alligator Adventure & the boardwalk at Barefoot Landing, House of Blues, Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede (full course dinner plus a live cowboy/indian old west show while you eat)..Lots of bars, including the Bowery on Ocean Blvd, where country group Alabama got their start.
Darlington Raceway & Darlington Dragstrip are just 70 miles from the beach and the big boys of Nascar race there every May, Mother’s Day weekend usually.
Columbia (state capital) still has cannon balls lodged in the state house that can be seen from the street. A huge zoo & botanical garden. The mountain region has water falls, hiking, canoeing, old west themed parks/towns. Glorious scenery & even snow skiing in some places.
Various festivals happen around the state at different times of the year.(Most are in May & June). Flowertown festival (Summerville) is beautiful. Grits festival (St. George) is all about the grits..Hell Hole Swamp festival (Jamestown) is about old time moon shine runners..Catfish festival (St. Stephens)…The Shrimp Festival (McClellanville)…The Okra festival (Irmo) is believe it or not a festival dedicated to ..OKRA…
As far as a place to stay…There are plenty of clean, nice, budget friendly hotels. There are also hotels that have indoor water parks & bowling alleys right in the lobby. Most of the areas & campgrounds around the beaches either rent houses or rv’s. Try our South Carolina State Parks…a few tents & sleeping bags or an air mattress or two..or rv’s or travel trailors…camp sites are inexpensive. (Fully equipped Cabins are also available at some locations)…Bathhouses with warm showers are at every location & the parks are usually not crowded & within a short driving distance to most attractions. They are patrolled by Rangers & secured at night with a gated combination lock for the guest security and convinence.
Koa campgrounds are similiar in prices, but don’t have the activities or offer hiking, fishing, waterfalls, beaches, etc…the way the State Parks do.

Where-ever you decide to vacation, I hope you have a grand time. Keep the State Parks in mind, no matter which state you visit. I think you’ll be surprised at what you find. If you’d like to find out more or have questions…click on my picture, which will take you to my homepage & e-mail me.
