Labor Day weekend for many years meant one thing for our family: a weekend with dear friends at their lake house outside of Charlotte. This is the first time in probably six years that we haven’t gone.

Instead, we decided to spend the weekend in Charleston. It’s a favorite destination. There’s the beach at Isle of Palms.

It has lovely streets and historic buildings.

There’s Hyman’s Seafood, which has the most amazing deviled crab on the planet.
