We leave this Saturday. And we are taking the Rover. Saint Louis to Nashville to Knoxville to Asheville to Charleston to Folly Island.
We usually head west to Wyoming and Colorado, so this is new to us. Been to the Smokies once or twice but never this far east.
As long as the rain holds off we should be good. I'm looking forward to the beach, waves and seafood. Actually, I'm looking forward to the drive. I love driving new places and really looking forward to the Smokies again.
Thanks to all for their dining recommendations.
As someone who visits this area regularly, Folly is a great place that is low key but super close to anything you need via Charleston.
Folly has some newer great placed to eat. Check out: Lost Dog Cafe or Rita's (Breakfast) Loggerheads (Lunch/Happy Hour)
If you are going to Charleston to eat the list goes for miles. But my favorites are: The Darling (oysters & seafood), Tattooed Moose (Duck Club), Slightly North of Broad ($$$), Lewis BBQ, Pages Okra Grill (across bridge to Mt. Pleasant).
Checking out downtown Charleston is a must if you are driving that far, especailly for the food/sights/things to do.
Enjoy!
