Village Square Child Care

Drayton Hall is more than a house, in the same way that your relationship with your partner is more than a relationship. This historic structure is a dramatic symbol of survival. Having weathered everything from the American Revolution to the Civil War to the earthquake of 1886 to Hurricane Hugo, it's clear that this house symbolizes strength in the face of any adversity. The grounds represent one of the most historic, undisturbed landscapes in American history, as Drayton Hall is kept not in the way that we imagined it to be, but in the way that it really was over one hundred years ago. It's a dramatically appropriate destination for a romantic walk through the grounds, and if the two of you prefer, you can be a part of a group tour or take in any of the special presentations that are scheduled at various times.

Enjoying a day at the beach means you'll more than likely be doing that with a large number of other beach-goers. If you want to find a quiet break from all that hustle and bustle but still enjoy a beautiful shoreline, make Edisto Beach your destination of choice. Located about 30 miles outside of Charleston, the beach is strikingly clean and inviting, as amenities like restrooms, family campsites and parking make finding your place on the sand stress-free. Sure, you won't be the only one enjoying Edisto Beach, but it will feel like this magnificent stretch of coastland is all yours when you comfortably stretch out on your beachtowel.

Charleston's unbreakable ties with history are everywhere, and your evening at the theater is no exception. The Dock Street Theatre has the distinction of being the first theater ever opened in the United States, meaning it's been delivering entertainment for a long time. While the original structure of the Dock Theatre burned down, it has been rebuilt on the very same site and continues the tradition of staging some of the most impressive productions in town. The theater is also the venue for Charleston's popular Spoleto arts festival and remains the city's focal point for great artistic expression.
