Great restaurant. Not for kids though - this place is on the pricier side and if you are under 65 you just might be the youngest one there.

Another place for history buffs. The SC historic site, the rangers give regularly scheduled hour long tours. Just be aware that this was a plantation during the days of slavery, and the owner was not a great guy, so the subject matter is dark. The guides do a great job, though - there are often children in the tour groups and they tailor the information to be suitable to the each group.
