CHARLESTON,
SOUTH CAROLINA
Charleston is the capital of southern charm, made evident
by its horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets and an
abundance of elegant plantation houses, home to some
of the oldest landscaped gardens in the country. Tour
some of Charleston’s most famous plantations, such as at
McLeod Plantation and Historic Site, Middleton Place or
Magnolia Plantation, learning about their role in the fight
for civil rights while taking in the grandiose antebellum
architecture, fragrant, everblooming flowers and refined
stable yards. Then, soak up the harbor views with a stroll
along the waterfront, tee off on perfectly manicured golf
courses or take a self-guided walking tour of the city’s many
historic sites.

If you’re craving fresh seafood, few west-coast
cities can compare with Seattle. Whether you’re
into grilled salmon, oyster shooters, shellfish or
sushi, you’ll find it all at the lively Pike Place
Market, a place just as entertaining as it is
delicious. In this city, you can find art at every
turn, from the elaborate sculptures at Chihuly
Garden and Glass to the wavy exterior of the
Museum of Pop Culture and the angular glass
architecture of the Seattle Public Library.
