So sorry your day in Charleston didn't work out so well. My husband and I go there quite often but it is best in the spring when the azaleas, camillias and crepe myrtles are in bloom. Magnolia Place Plantation is gorgeous at that time of year. Charleston has great restaurants, Ft. Sumter, The Market and Sullivan Island. So much to see and experience, one day just doesn't do it justice. Anyway, glad you got a flavor of it and you will be enticed to return some day.
