Toddler’s Charleston Summer Bucket List

Sharing the best of Charleston summer with my baby and toddler at our favorite local spots to beach, eat, and play.

Half the day out and about in Charleston, half the day at home to rest, play, and take care of the house. When out and about, I tend to pair nearby activities together to cut time in the car. Here are the special things our family is planning on for this sweet season with a toddler and baby:
