This is Boone Hall Plantation that we also visited today. It's one of the only plantations not harmed during the civil war because it was so hard to get to. When visitors came to visit, they stayed anywhere from six weeks to a year because there were no bridges, they had to rely on boats and the tidal systems. They started out making bricks out of the dirt, but after that stopped making them money, they switched to pecans!
One of the houses where the slaves lived, sometimes 3 families in one cabin. This plantation had over 300 slaves.
These are 300 year old oak trees complete with hanging spanish moss. They would make great tree houses. 
This is only one of the small azalea bushes around the grounds. They're HUGE!
Dogs were not allowed into the plantation, however, if you look closely at what's inside the girls backpacks, you might be surprised!
The above are just a few of the other flowers we saw on the grounds. Very lovely.
Well, that's really it for the postings today. Hope you're all well,
Love to you all....
