Charleston, SC

We fell in love with this city. One weekend was over way to fast, I can easily spend a full week there.
I wouldn't call Charleston a kids friendly, but we still had fun. We liked walking around this old city and just looking at the buildings.
City was found in 1670. Cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, beautiful buildings pre-Civil war era.
We started our walk at the Waterfront park. We parked near there and walked everywhere from there. There was no need to drive and re-park. Everything is close by. It took as maybe 2 hours to walk through entire downtown area.


Waterfront park


Nice pier area with the swings on it. You can also take a water taxi from here to the other side.















The Old Exchange and Provost dungeon

From here to the most known and photographed street of this city - Rainbow Row. 
Rainbow row is the name of a series of colorful historic houses in Charleston. It represents the longest cluster of Georgian row houses in US. 
Panoramic view picture is from Wikipedia.



















Battery and White point garden 




From there back to the Rainbow row and to the Broad street
