We live about 45 minutes north of Charleston. You picked a great time to visit. The Confederate Jasmine smells so good when in bloom. 🌸🌸

[@MaryTravels53]

I love the low country so much ❤❤❤ It’s grand, but can be a little warm and humid in the summer. It is best in early spring!!! The city market and Hyman Seafood are a must!

[@dianapearson1771]

We do, indeed, have a wonderful history!! A grest country!! But, there are those who would have our history wiped out😢!! Americans have to stand up and fight against this.

[@RoscoeB44]

Would be ok wiping that slavery portion out.

[@RhondaA]

You're right. There's some who don't want people to learn about the south's shameful history of slavery, Jim Crow, etc, and that's wrong.

[@dianapearson1771]

@@RhondaA Not saying slavery was right, young lady. You're growing up in a way different age than me. History is important. Slavery is an integral part of Black history. The uneducated sector of our society doesn't understand the importance of history. We cannot ignore our past. We must learn from it and use that knowledge to improve our future!!! Regardless of what most our Democratic leaders force on us, we have to overcome and make our Nation one of cooperation and unity!!!

[@patkennard9234]

Love Charleston, we get there several times a year. We live in Columbia so it is a nice drive. Lots of history and things to do. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@kathyberry5826]

You’re probably smelling confederate jasmine not honeysuckle. Pineapples are a symbol of welcome in the south. Lots of neat tours in Charleston. Have fun !

[@sharonscain7673]

A pineapple is a symbol of hospitality!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@marlandcoxii7702]

Love it here! My wife is a native, and relocated me here from Michigan...lol...We enjoy anytime spent downtown. Her Dad owned a carriage company for several years, and was happy to see this video especially! Thank you! 😊

[@cindalong3926]

I love Charleston and the swings are my favorite.

[@ng3069]

I've been collecting pineapples for 34 years. That Pineapple fountain is gorgeous!!!!!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I have an antique pineapple chandelier from probably the 40s . It’s simple and I love it but no longer have room. It’s been in storage for 10 years. It’s brass color with lots of texture like real pineapple.

[@cherylthepearl4085]

Luv Charleston. Wish I lived there until it rains or storm flooding occurs. Then it’s terrible. Sad. Looks like fun trip. Luv the history.

[@lindablair919]

Some friends from WI spent a week with us in Charleston. The first day we ate at a great southern restaurant downtown. It was so good but closed not long after that. Our friend didn’t want to order fried okra so the server brought him a sample. He loved it and kept ordering it everyplace all week. I even showed him what it looks like in the produce department in a grocery store. Then back to WI where he said they don’t have it.

[@dianapearson1771]

Shame we don't know how to garden and grow our favorite vegetables. It may come in handy some day.

[@herbalspear1]

My hometown that is absolutely beautiful. Been a native here for 67 years. By the way that smell is Confederate Jassimine.

[@kimfrommn7162]

Very Interesting!!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@charleshowelljr451]

Love Charleston, Make sure you plan a trip to Hilton Head South Carolina, and take your bikes, they have paved bike trails all over the island, a lot of great things to video. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to Charleston in may, and I'm going to try my best to go to that restaurant.

[@marylou.d6379]

Not all the history is good, but it's our history and we should recognize it. Living in Florida makes me fear that we will lose our historical facts! You guys did a beautiful job highlighting Charleston! It is a beautiful city!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you 👌

[@ssing2490]

Love your travels! (But its hard to hear Dawn sometimes) next time take the horse drawn carriage tour. They are a wonderful way to see & learn more about the city

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

Hi everybody hope everyone is having a blessed day

[@watchingfromthesideline1408]

Hi Daniel 👋 Happy Monday to all 😊

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Hello 👋

[@andreaandiwilliams9232]

Did you know that the pineapple is a sign of friendship symbolizing hospitality. It also means sharing and caring. Love your video on S. Charleston, very interesting and so much history there.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@kimberlycollins3028]

My family tree goes back to the 1700's in South Carolina; it truly is a wonderful interesting place to live or visit. Love watching Will and Dawn on all their adventures.

[@dan-patrickobrien3580]

Yeah Charleston and the surrounding areas are definitely worth a weeks trip. Multiple different carriage and bike tours, ghost tours and Gullah tours. go to cypress gardens and paddle your own swamp boat, multiple plantations along the ahaley river like boone hall, magnolia, Middleton place. Beaches galore, go to johns island to the angel oak tree the largest live oak east of the Mississippi. Last but not least Edisto island the most unique and beautiful island in America (other than the Hawaiian islands of course 😊) and many more this is just me thinking off the top of my head. Lots of history and rich culture soak it up. Very few places in america like it, i would say a one of a kind city but im biased as i live in Summerville 😂.

[@joshuawarren9891]

I lived in Charleston a fair while ago (15+ years), but I used to go to 39 Rue de Jean and California Dreaming quite a lot. Looks like they're both still in business so must be doing something right!

[@olafpamela]

We had about a half day, not even enough time and loved the city❤ We did the market and a carriage ride. Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️

[@BeeSimm1]

We were there 2 days years ago, took a bus tour of the city, carriage ride, the market, Ft Sumter, the aircraft carrier, the submarine, toured a plantation, Rainbow Row, ate at Hymans seafood, California Dreaming restaurant. We saw a lot in 2 days. And rode over to Folly Beach. Beautiful city!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing your memories ❤️

[@lhuskey4u]

I loved walking through the market place

[@keithsanders2792]

Charleston is a beautiful city and the people we experienced were very hospitable when we were there years ago. Great video you two. Keep 'em coming!

[@user-ph1tn8rx3j]

Thanks for taking us along - very enjoyable!

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Charleston is full of so much history and beauty. Enjoy your visit! ❤️ Stay safe, and God bless. 🙌 Try the Shrimp & Grits. 😋😋 Benne wafers, Pralines, Fudge, etc...Heavenly sweets. Yum.

[@dianapearson1771]

That totol for your lunch was hard to believe, right?!!! And it looked amazing!! Great video!!

[@wwlwiffleball3145]

Not including tip and only water.

[@Ryan-xu9zb]

@@wwlwiffleball3145 Yep, as someone who lives in CHS, this was a lunch menu selection. I'd like them to try dinner there, or anywhere downtown. Throw in some drinks, and you can be looking at 100+ for a couple. Charleston is easily one of the best culinary cities in the US, but it can get pricey.

[@deborahquinn483]

Hi Will and Dawn. You two make Charleston look like so much fun. I have not been in years. I think that first bridge you saw was the Ravenel bridge. It replaced two very rickety wooden bridges not too long ago. Another place to add to your Charleston must-see places is Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Especially in the Spring when the azaleas are just blooming and the camellias are blooming. They have a nature trail you can walk that ends at the famous white bridge with the reflection in the black water pond. It also has the Audubon garden where the famous 1960's movie "Swamp Thing" was filmed. It is part of a rookery and in the spring you can watch all the baby cranes begin to take flight. Thanks for bringing back so many happy memories. Happy Birthday Dawn.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Definitely want to do some research on this thanks for sharing 👍

[@junebug3051]

Awesome video!

[@stevenkatz402]

Thanks Will and Dawn for the tour of SC. Great review.

[@jackiejohnson8609]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Have a great time on your adventures!

[@elizabethjimenez277]

We visited Charleston right before Covid. I loved it so much!! Hope you get to see Church street and the old, old graveyards. Pineapple is a Welcome symbol. Have fun!!

[@diamondpaintingwithsweett]

So glad you took time to check out Charleston!❤ It's a wonderful place! You shouldn't have to spend a lot for "fine dining". Excited to see where else you go😊!

[@snowballjennjenn2825]

Love Charleston… Beautiful place

[@jenniferrobinson9474]

Will and Dawn, you really make these travel videos interesting. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Oh, that lunch looked amazing!

[@ChrisVAug28]

They sure do.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

[@angelaefird596]

Welcome to the south! I am from NC but my cousin is in SC, Charleston.

[@dianewilliams5271]

I really enjoyed this video. It wasn't too long for me. Glad you are having a good time exploring South Carolina.

[@Wanda-dh6gn]

Glad u both enjoyed our beautiful Charleston enjoy the rest of your trip.

[@bluebutterfly841]

Great video thanks for taking us along . So glad your both blessed with good health and able to travel and make great memories together. Hope to get back to the mountains this fall. Take care Will & Dawn.

[@dntwnWD]

It’s not honeysuckle. It’s called Star Jasmine or Confederate Jasmine. It’s all in bloom right now in late April and May.

[@Hope-ri6ix]

Columbia South Carolina is my home. I hope you enjoyed the visit to this wonderful state and great city of Charleston. Come back and visit other areas in the state. It's a beautiful one.

[@karenbass3507]

I love visiting Charleston! You can feel the history everywhere you go.

[@janmckee7719]

Beautiful city

[@angelaefird596]

I lived there, my dad was in the Navy. There is a bad part.

[@angelaefird596]

Not sure we were near a school. I was in 1st grade.

[@ATJHTRAVELS]

Awesome ty for taking us along sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch stay safe and blessed

[@carlavision6143]

Will and Dawn, really enjoyed your video and what beautiful houses and scenery! Loved the fountains! Your food looked so good! Thank you for taking me along with you! And thank you for all you do for us that aren't able to see places like this! Love y'all!❤️❤️ Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@cammybarrs7114]

❤Loved and Enjoyed very much 😀❣️ Charleston S.C. Love the history and there is so many fun things to do in Charleston ❤❣️Thanks Dawn 🙋‍♀️ and Will 🙋‍♂️❣️

[@lizklein3058]

Pineapple is a symbol for hospitality. Southern hospitality flourishes in both Charleston and Savannah

[@cryptofreedom772]

You need a week just to get through the amazing restaurants alone!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Maybe one day! Thanks

[@susanbrazeal1275]

Thank you for sharing the beauty of Charleston!

[@FamousFiveAmos]

Love Charleston. The favorite thing we did was a horse carriage ride down by the market. Food is so good down there. Glad you pointed out all the pretty flowers and extras that are decorated on houses. Such a refreshing town

[@laurahall256]

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Dawn 🥳🎈🎁🎉

[@peedeesanddigger4862]

We love Charleston, we do day trips . It’s only 2 hrs from us. Lot of history and beautiful sites to see.

[@sheilawillis490]

They left that area days ago....Will always tells us the travel video's are a few days old by the time we watch them...safety reasons..😊💜

[@RAINBOJO1]

How beautiful and I love the pink house with the exterior, circular staircase. Gorgeous!

[@janetchaffin7038]

Will and Dawn, enjoyed the Charleston video. We would have enjoyed a longer video. Looking forward to the next part!

[@stevekelly2262]

Watching the Sunshine back into port now. Enjoy!

[@maryfettig3378]

I think it's jasmine you are smelling

[@auntgracie4826]

Ok. Charleston is on my bucket list now. Thank you for bringing this to us Will & Dawn!

[@Cinnamonbagel123]

loving your adventure in S.C..... thanks for posting

[@normarheaharrison1196]

I enjoyed the pottery shops as I like food and beverages from pottery.

[@poppyll8426]

Wow, you can’t possibly do Charleston in a day. It’s too awesome.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

It's on the bucket list we have to go back

[@suzannejohnson206]

I live in Charleston! I'm glad ya'll made it down for a visit!

[@dizfan6727]

Enjoyed watching your visit to our lovely Charleston. I remembered when you asked Dawn what one thing she would like to do, she said a cruise. Really hope you'll take her on one; since it wasn't for this birthday, maybe her next one!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Stay tuned 😉 😎 😏 👀

[@dorafaidley3945]

Yes there are some beautiful plantations you can tour as well😊

[@heatherdemby9602]

I live here in Summerville and going to the Pineapple Fountain is my favorite. There is a Belgian Gelato place right there near it and I always have to get the Gelato there. The bridge name is Arthur Ravenel Bridge. It goes into Mt. Pleasant.

[@marilynpoodlemom5329]

LOVE LOVE LOVE CHARLESTON. WE STAYED ON EDISON ISLAND WHEN WE WENT. WENT TO SEVERAL PLANTATIONS AND TOOK A FISHING TRIP. EDISTO IS AMAZING. LOVED THE CITY MARKET AND THE BATTERY AREA.

[@michaelburroughs7494]

That food looked really good.

[@sandrajordan3802]

Every time I see you’re intro where you are at Lamperts I want to go to the one in Missouri. Couple of years ago on a road trip my daughter and I were in Charleston and we stayed at The Old Citadel hotel by Hilton it was amazing. We shopped at the market. In one of the shops there was red hat I wanted but didn’t get,have regretted it ever since. Is that honeysuckle or jasmine? I bought a bag from a lady in the marketplace. She had sewn it and I still use it today.

[@chubbzy24153]

Charleston is a nice city...one of my faves!! We grew up going to Edisto Beach...my grandparents had a house there. About an hour south of Charleston.

[@SCMom30]

Must do on your next trip to Charleston, SC: carriage tour(use Old South Carriage Co.), Hyman's Seafood and Poogan's Porch(restaurants), Haunted tours(Bulldog Tour Group), the plantations(most offer tours especially Magnolia Plantation and see the gardens), harbor tour. There's so much to do and see.

[@cherryjohnson9733]

Thank you for doing this video.

[@Valady49]

The pineapple fountain was made after a devasting hurricane came thru and messed up the downtown area. To commemorate all the friends that came together to rebuild the area. Pineapple is the sign for friendship.

[@donnasellers9422]

I have been to Charleston several times its beauty is speechless it's charm is awesome it makes you feel like you're lost in another world the beaches are breathtaking.The food is OMG !! Will and Dawn have the time of your life . Thank you for taking us along. No place in the world like the beach right Dawn?? Enjoy have a wonderful time ♥️ Love you both!

[@michaelcollins6290]

Charleston is awesome, I was there the same time you were!

[@thedogzoo]

I can't wait until the both of you go back to Charleston. Thank you for sharing today's visit with us. ❤

[@janicegoolsby5401]

Happy Belated Birthday Dawn 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you 👌

[@Tony-5000]

Ships go to docks in harbors. Trucks go to shoppers and receivers and go to docks. Something sent by water is called a "cargo", while something sent by land is called a "shipment"! Go figure🤔 Anyhow, looking forward to the day you and Dawn go and give us the whole tour👍

[@watchingfromthesideline1408]

Great video will and dawn 😊 keep up the fantastic work 👍 😊

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you so much

[@lindakurman8642]

Been there twice. Just loved it

[@darrylbrown5030]

those "colorful houses" are what we call "Rainbow Row"... yes, you need at least a week. We've lived here for over 40 yrs .. wife was born here.

[@Momtocam1997]

My son loves to visit Charleston..he goes every year…

[@bubbascruise]

Be careful when you see a upside down pineapple on your cruise as it has a hidden meaning that most don't realize.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

OK I will look into it

[@cjennings2876]

Charleston is a nice city to go visit. Last time I was there was 1998

[@daniellejones2719]

Loved this video! So much to see there. Y’all had a great looking meal😃

[@sharonscain7673]

That’s called the Battery!

[@SmokyMTNguy_]

Oh I’m so glad y’all were able to visit Charleston!! I absolutely loved living there!!! Sooo much history and so much to do!! I would move back there in a heartbeat.

[@lorid6544]

The flowers in the window boxes were red, white & blue.

[@teresacantrell7400]

Loved this

[@dorafaidley3945]

My son, daughter in law and 3 of my grandkids live in Charleston, lovely architecture and lots of historic buildings

[@SteveStokes1971]

We always stay in Isle of Palms on the beach and drive in to Charleston for the day. Restaurants we always hit are Fleet Landing (close to the boardwalk at the beginning of your video) and Jack's Cosmic Dogs and Red's Ice House in Mt. Pleasant. Patriots Point has boat rides to Fort Sumter. Also King Street has a lot of shopping.

[@Angela-zf8sn]

Beautiful area! I'm loving those trees, flowers cobblestone streets wow! Hey first time I've seen y'all roll your eyes so much while eating😂😂 food looked amazing!! Your right about that food bill. Dawn we are enjoying you sharing your Birthday journey with us all. Thanks for sharing 🤗👍

[@cathyrobinson8667]

Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed your day in Charleston. The food also looked delicious.

[@Rhondagail]

Very pretty view you all

[@lizklein3058]

Those houses of different colors are known as Rainbow Row. Some have big metal rods through them to hold them together after an earthquake long time ago!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@KathyWalters-ol8mh]

Charleston is wonderful. One of our favorite things is to take one of the carriage tours. Happy birthday Dawn!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you 👌

[@laurarose8140]

Hi Will and Dawn I have never been to Charleston but after watching your amazing video and seeing and hearing all the history there we definitely need to go there. The food looked delicious. Thanks so much for tour of Charleston. Love it. Be safe on the rest of your travels

[@melissagrimes4871]

This is my hometown. I was born and still live here. Visit the market with all the vendors and the Battery is so beautiful Take a carriage ride and go see the Angel Oak Tree on Johns Island. You’ll be so glad you did

[@gusnickles3672]

Never been to Charleston but I have heard great things about it. Thanks for sharing all the history and that food looked so good. When and if I visit I will have to check that restaurant out, thanks guys.
