23 Places In South Carolina That Belong On Your State Bucket List

South Carolina is an amazing place to live and to visit. Some people live here their entire lives and never see just one of the items that will be on this list. I know, it is very difficult to put off cleaning the house especially if you have been working all week, or to put off grocery shopping for just a bit. Things clutter our lives and we end up never doing the things we wished we did. My mom gave me some very sage advice just before she passed. She told me it is better to have lovely memories than a lifetime of "I wish I dids". So, if you haven't seen all the beauty and wonder that the Palmetto State has to offer or don't know where to start, here is a South Carolina bucket list for you to start on! Laundry can wait... it's not going anywhere. I promise you!
