Anybody know any places that are good to go to in Charleston, SC, or Denver/Boulder, CO? I have been looking online, but I think it is better to hear from somebody who has been there first hand, if you can.

Or do you know anybody there who would be willing to meet a new friend and show her around?

Morning Blue!


Kirche has been to Charleston several times, so I am sure she will have some suggestions later in the day when she gets online.

Hey Blue,


I've been to Charleston a few times. I was last there in July 2001, right before I had DD2. Talk about HOT! It was not a good time of year for a pregnant woman to be vacationing there!


The great thing about the city is that there is so much to see. If you're into history, there are lots of walking tours. There is a nice waterfront area and open air market and lots of good seafood restaurants too. We went to see July 4th fireworks on the beach at Isle of Palms. It was a nice beach nearby.


I've really only visited the downtown area, so I don't have much knowledge of any out-of-the-way places that might be good to visit.


I've heard it's an "open" city. I hope you enjoy it!


Hugs

Hey, Ting, thanks for the update. I know Charleston like the back of my hand, because my mom and brothers live there. I have been in clubs til the wee hours of the night/morning. What I am looking for is a place where I might be able to meet people.......you know. It truly is a very open town, I just don't know where to look. I love Charleston, and as Caly has said, it is expensive unless you are living with mom!

Hugs

Hey Storm,
I am definitely going to Boulder at the end of July. From the 27th to August 9th. I should have some time away from dd to scope things on my own. I rented a car so I could be independent. She might have to work, and of course, her and the boyfriend will get tired of seeing my pretty face every day. I am not sure about Charleston. I kind of think around the 7th-8th of July or so.

Hugs
