South Carolina City the No. 1 Best Easter Weekend Vacation Spots

Do you have plans for Easter this year? Some people do special Easter egg hunts after church service and a nice family dinner. Whether you go back to your hometown or spend it with those nearby, Easter can be a great family-filled weekend. How about this year? Maybe you've got plans to travel this weekend for Easter. Well, you may not have to go too far.

Infinity Transportation did a study to determine the 15 best Easter weekend vacation destinations. That's right, we're traveling for Easter. One South Carolina city was actually deemed the number one best spot for Easter weekend vacations. Can you guess? Well, not to toot my own horn but it's my hometown, Charleston, South Carolina. So, technically I spent the majority of my life's Easter in the best spot to do so. On Easter Sunday, you can have fun with Charleston's Eggstravaganza every year. There's egg decorating, egg hunts, and so much more. Plus in Charleston, the Holy City, there is a church on every corner to enjoy a special Easter Sunday church service.

If you have ever spent any time in Charleston you already are aware of how beautiful the city can be. But, if you have never seen the Easter and Spring decorations, then you have no idea! Check out the full list here to see what other cities are the best for Easter weekend vacations and start planning for next year.

Have you seen the cost of living as of recently? Yes, that's right it is quite expensive to survive around here. It's pretty insane if you ask me. People are also getting to the point of relocating to more affordable cities more than ever. Some towns and cities are just so much more affordable that it's a no-brainer to relocate.

Travel + Leisure released their list of the ten most beautiful and affordable places to live in the United States. Yes, affordable does not mean you won't be able to have some beauty either. From fast-paced cities to small, quaint towns on the beaches there are tons of great, affordable places you could live. In fact, one North Carolina town took home the No. 1 spot for the most beautiful and affordable spot in the U.S. One South Carolina area also made the top five. Do you have any guesses?

First, we're taking a trip to Tennessee, Knoxville to be exact. Knoxville is the No. 5 most affordable and beautiful place to live on this list. The area gives those that live there a perfect balance of city and nature living. The report states that the median housing price is about $335,000 which is figuratively low for other small, metro type areas in the country.

This city is full of life with the history and culture that can be seen in buildings and through the locals. The median housing cost is quite low coming in at $163,000.
