A Charleston Getaway
We often travel to Charleston for the lowcountry charm and atmosphere. A short hop away is Sullivan’s Island; a fantastic quiet corner of the South, and an incredible place to stay if you want to slow down time and enjoy life. Here’s a selection of pics from around the island, including several from Fort Moultrie—a military base in use through several wars—now a national park and museum.
