"My mother began our week at Edisto almost 20 years ago. My brother and I have continued the tradition. My two sons with their families join us. It’s a week of eating, relaxing, laughing and catching up with each other. Traditions are important in this hectic world. I love slowing down for a week." — Susan Wise Turner
"Kiawah Island is a destination that we’ve returned to again and again. Our first visit was when we were pregnant with our first daughter (who is taking the New York State Bar Exam tomorrow) and our next visit will be in 2024! Kids 2 and 3 are graduating from college and they chose Kiawah to be their destinations." — Kathy Schoemick
"We visit Hilton Head Island every year! Over the last couple of years, we have transitioned to staying on the Sea Pines (Harbour Town) part of the island because we love being able to walk or bike to everything: dinner, shops, entertainment, activities, etc. Our yearly tradition is to see Gregg Russell sing under the old Liberty Oak tree. Plus, the sunsets in Harbour Town are absolutely amazing!" — Grace Scott
"For the past eight years, our family from upstate New York drives 16 hours and stays for two weeks on Folly Beach, so our two sons on the [Autism] spectrum could participate in Surfers Healing." — Robert Franz
"[In] Fripp Island, South Carolina celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. We’ve been vacationing at Fripp for 29 years. Our favorite spot to spend vacation with our children and grandchildren." — Marty Daley
