A Sunday in Charleston - Magnolia Plantations

While in Charleston we spent a good portion of our Sunday at Magnolia Plantations & Gardens. It was beautiful and I can only imagine how much more so it would be in Spring, Summer, and Fall. We had such a good time touring the gardens together and even took the tram ride which got us super close to some crocodiles. Pretty cool. :)

"Founded in 1676 by the Drayton family, Magnolia Plantation has survived the centuries and witnessed the history of our nation unfold before it from the American Revolution through the Civil War and beyond. It is the oldest public tourist site in the Lowcountry, and the oldest public gardens in America, opening its doors to visitors in 1870 to view the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants in its famous gardens. So join us here at Magnolia Plantation to experience the beauty of its gardens and its rich history today."

Adventures in Charleston

We arrived in Charleston this past Saturday - the day we celebrated 10 years of togetherness. :) We checked into the Aloft Hotel and headed Downtown. Such a pretty, pretty town filled with lots of history. These pictures are from our first evening there. :)
