South Carolina for April: Charleston or Myrtle Beach?
Husband wants me to pick where we will stay for the month of April: Charleston or Myrtle Beach. What would you suggest and what is there to do there?

We are kid-free. We're in our 30s. We don't golf and we're not really the sit on the beach, relax and do nothing kind of people. We like to be active and we like to explore. We especially like doing and trying new things. That's us in a nut shell!
We are also mid 30s (okay, I'm late 30s and wife is close enough to 30; that averages mid 30s). Check out Broadway at the Beach http://www.broadwayatthebeach.com/ The beginning of April I'm sure they will have a lot open. Margaritaville is there. Lot of boardwalk and more beach. The Bowary http://www.thebowery.com/ Mini golf, zip line, etc. Myrtle Beach Speedway (if anything is going on there then).
Charleston has a great downtown worth visiting. I can probably do a couple of days there. There is a naval ship and submarine tour. Carriage ride down Rainbow Row. Slave trade (old outdoor flea market surrounded by lots of little shops and restaurants / bars). Haunted jail tour, and the like.
That's pretty much both in a nutshell. If it was me, I'd probably stay in Myrtle Beach (MB life is in the north end), and take the 2 hour journey early in the morning to Charleston and plan to stay the entire day coming back late. Might be worth a second day journey later in the trip if you missed stuff.
