Last-minute family vacation ideas to round out Summer

Hold a Feast

Nothing says “Summer” like a good cookout. Invite family and friends over for a large, homestyle cookout that allows for the kids to have fun and the adults to relax and fun with one another.

Stick to themes that can feed a greal deal of people but still remain relaxed and casual, like a Lowcountry Boil, clambake or potluck dinner.

Explore Your Own Backyard, Literally

If you don’t have the time to pack up the car and drive to the nearest campground for a night or two of becoming one with nature, you can just as easily recreate that feeling in the safety of your backyard.

Most people remember when they slept under the stars behind their houses when they were kids, so why not pass that feeling on to the next generation if you haven’t already?

Rediscover Your City

Now is the time of year in Charleston when most of the tourist who’ve clogged roadways and packed your favorite restaurants have retreated back to their respective home towns.

This is the perfect opportunity to take the family and rediscover some of the spots you love most. Make a day of it and go see Rainbow Row or take a tour of Ft. Sumter and fall in love with the city all over again.

Just because school’s back in session doesn’t necessarily mean the summertime fun has to come to such an abrupt end, too. These ideas and more are great ways to put a fun exclamation point on the summer and properly transition into a new season.
