North Myrtle Beach was the middle chapter of our US East Coast road trip this June, sandwiched between Charleston and Richmond on the way up to Washington DC. We had four nights here, which turned out to be exactly the right amount of time: long enough to properly settle in, short enough that we didn’t…

Charleston has been on my list for years, and this summer, we finally ticked if off as the first stop on our US East Coast road trip with R (17 months), Jack, and Jack’s mum. British Airways briefly flew direct from Heathrow but stopped a few years back. I always knew I’d get to Charleston…
