With an early departure, we arrive in Charleston, Southern Living Magazine's "Best City" for 2020. Our first stop is the Old City Market where we will have free time for shopping and lunch on your own. Looking for a lunch recommendation? May we suggest Fleet Landing Restaurant or any of the restaurants that line the streets beside the market. After lunch, we head to the Visitor's Center to pick up the tour guide for a fantastic driving tour of the city. On our tour we will stop at The Citadel, Avery Institute, The Battery, AME Church, and more. Following our tour, we will check into the hotel to freshen up for dinner. We will enjoy dinner, together, at the Charleston Crab House.
After breakfast at the hotel, day two begins with a tour of Patriot's Point - the home of the USS Yorktown and destroyer USS Laffey. The site also features a three-acre Vietnam Exhibit, Cold War Memorial, and Medal of Honor Museum. After the tour, we will travel to Sullivan's Island for an included lunch at Poe's Tavern. There will also be time for a quick shopping spree. We will then drive to Fort Moultrie for a short stop. This fort was built in 1776 to defend the city of Charleston from the British during the Revolution. Edgar Allen Poe was stationed here between 1827 and 1828. Sullivan's Island is the setting for Poe's short story "The Gold Bug." We will depart for home and travel through beautiful Beaufort, SC in time for dinner, on your own, and shopping along historic Bay Street. We will have a late arrival back in the Atlanta area.
