As Summer draws to a close, we say good bye to relaxing days by the pool as the kids go back to school with bunches of newly sharpened pencils and the excitement of seeing old friends. Young parents bemoan the flying years and empty nesters fight the tinge of sadness not having the flock around.
What better time to plan a trip to Aiken, South Carolina! With so much to do here, you won't even miss the kids, that much.
The Palmetto State (South Carolina) is full of exciting things to do. You can tailgate while the USC Gamecocks trounce their rivals, or head to Death Valley for a Clemson football game; deep sea fishing and boat races down at the Coast; hunting season opens for deer and fox hunting gets underway all over the State; and then there is always GOLF, GOLF and More GOLF. Aiken is at the heart of it all; stay at one of our charming Bed & Breakfasts and explore the State or stay in Aiken and discover a new place to call home.
Aiken is home to Derby Winning Racehorses, World Cup Polo Players, Olympic Athelettes, Pulitzer Prize Winners, Grammy Award Winners, Alternative Fuel Research facilities, One of the Country's Oldest Golf Courses, and ME! I am a REALTOR in Aiken and I would love to show you why I am proud to live in the Palmetto State.
