Traveling to Mt. Pleasant wkend of 4/29 alone. What to do??

Hi all,

I will be traveling to Mt.Pleasant from Charlotte for the weekend of 4/29/05. I want to make sure I take in all the good sites while I%26#39;m there. I am traveling alone, so dining at a nice place isn%26#39;t all that important to me. A fun local tavern with great food is fine. What are the ';don%26#39;t miss'; sites that don%26#39;t take up an entire day? Thanks for your suggestions!!

Shem Creek is a fun place to eat good seafood at. It%26#39;s by the bridge to Sullivan%26#39;s Island. They%26#39;re right at a dock, over the water, so you can watch pelicans catch their dinner while you%26#39;re waiting for yours.

Fort Moultrie is on the Mt Pleasant side of the river and could be a fun place to spend an hour or two. And Charleston is right across the bridge.

Weather permitting, you could enjoy the beach on either Sullivan%26#39;s Island or Isle of Palms. In case of rain, there are scads of ';antique malls'; (more like flea markets from what I%26#39;ve seen) right in Mt Pleasant.

The city of Mt Pleasant is a bedroom community to Charleston, so what you%26#39;ll find along its main drag - Route 17 - is mostly of the chain variety: Lowe%26#39;s, Publix, Applebee%26#39;s, etc. There is a small, quiet, historic waterfront neighborhood worth stopping by. Its independent (!) drug store even sports an old-fashioned orange Rexall sign. An inn there contains an upscale dining room, oddly called Maverick%26#39;s, which might be a nice spot to unwind with a bottle of wine in. Whether it%26#39;s ';fun'; or lively is debatable, though!
