Family beach vacation in May
 

My husband and I love Charleston, SC, but have never taken our children (4 and 10). We feel we need to add a beach component, with Charleston being more like a day trip or 2. Never stayed on Isle of Palms or Kiawah, but looking for kid-friendly (great pool) resort suggestions. With little kids, we're fine with "touristy" -- it's not going to be a relaxing vacation, anyways. :)

We also have recently begun exploring Gulf Shores, AL and Galveston, TX as beach-y options (the latter, primarily because of its proximity to Schlitterbahn).

Any and all recommendations or feedback on the above is sooo appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to Fodor's! I see you are new.

You'll want to re-post your question on the United States forum so more people will see it and reply.

Welcome to Fodors jane. See the 'Change Forum' pull down menu? click that and re-post your question on the US board.

But do note . . . Fodors is supposed to be launching a new format any hour now. So I'd re-post quickly 'just in case' so it is there and migrated over to the new site . . . OR just wait until maybe tomorrow to see if the new site is up and running.

we were posting at the same time-

Thank you! I just selected "United States" under the "Change Forum" dropdown menu at the top of the page -- will that get it into the right spot? I jumped over to "United States" and don't see it there!

Again, thank you so much for the guidance.
