Vacation Time in October

Do I remember taking a vacation? I think the last one was when we picked Justin up at college and tried to spend a few days at the beach. Weather was too cold to go to the water and I had food poisoning the entire time after we arrived. Some vacation. Hopefully this upcoming one will be a bit more restful. I am hoping to take some family letters with me that are fifty years old and post on the blogs for other family members to read. We will see how it goes. Any ideas on where to stay in Charleston? City or beach?
