#80: Beaufort and the Low Country (Page 705, 2nd Ed pg 866)

May 2007: Dave, Lacey (when she was just 3 1/2 months old) and I took our first family vacation together to South Carolina. This was my first time to South Carolina. We spent the first part of our trip in Hilton Head (pictured here).
We also took a day and drove to Beaufort, known as the "gateway to the Sea Islands." It's a charming town and several movies (including The Big Chill, Prince of Tides and Forrest Gump) have all been filmed here. Many of the celebrities from these movies stayed here, the Rhett House Inn.

Verdict: I had low expectations for this trip because 1) we had a baby with us and 2) it just seemed "simple." It was within driving distance of our house and so it just didn't feel very exotic or exciting. However, we absolutely LOVED it! What a great place to visit. Charming, relaxing and delightful!
