Thanks. My son said that he wants to spend every waking moment during the weekend with us...starting shortly after 5:am. lol So I',m gonna study a map and commit these places you guys talked about to memory. Study the online tour guide, and try to plan everything... nothing goes as planed, but this way I can spend time enjoying the visit, instead of spending all my time figuring out were I'm at, and were to go. I think he wants to go to the mall, and market... first time with his own money (he was so busy with scouts & band he never had a chance to get a job). So I'm thinking a couple of forts, the sub, the market, and anything near the beach.

I am also a photographer; so any suggestions for great photo op locations is appreciated.

Chuck,  Like Chuck said, the outdoor market, Patriots Point, Sumpter.  There are also a lot of old manor tours and just walking downtown is nice. I liked Fort Moultrie becouse its neer Poe's resturant.  Great burgers burgers and beer.  I always stop there when I am in town.  Try to sit outside if possible.

Mike, Thanks. Yes, first trip. Thanks for all of the great information, I will try to see all I can.

Oh yeah, don't forget the covered outdoor market which stretches for several blocks right at the confederate museum.  Lots of really great stuff, much of it made right there at the market.

Chuck, first trip?  Plenty to see and do down there.  Patriot's Point/Fort Sumter is obviously first on the list.  The walking tour of Charleston itself is great.  They have a really nice aquarium and near that is a military museum which some nukes work at.  Also the area has several neat plantations.  Of course in warmer weather there are the beaches.  There are also a couple of lesser known forts which are really interesting, Fort Moultry(sp?) being one with a really nice visitors center.

Heading to Charleston this weekend for a visit; any suggested places to visit, or suggestions in general?

@KTR, that was a fast trip. Congratulations to your son.

@David'sMom - yeah, I saw them, but they were taking cash and checks only, so I will get my sailor to get one while he is on Grad Hold.

Well, just got home from Charleston after a whirlwind tour for Class 1206 Power School Graduation - flew up Th night, had a late dinner with my sailor (no curfew) and his brother, then early morning at NNPTC for graduation (long line of traffic, and we were 40 mins early!), then a moving ceremony (they let family get right up to the podium and yell!), then dinner at Anson's, then an early flight home to SAT.  Pshew!  We're beat but happy, and have him home for 10 days.  Now he's in the living room with his three best friends from since 6th grade. Happy, happy, happy.
