Boone Hall Plantation

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....

Tuesday evening

Hi y'all,

Today we went exploring. We went to Fort Sumter, Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms. We went beach combing but it was so windy and the sand was hitting us so sharply, we had to retreat. The beach was covered with really big jelly fish. It was low tide and the sand bars went out forever. The sand was etched with ripples, if you look closely at the pictures you can see all the designs.

There are some awesome homes here, we love the paint colors they chose. Our favorite one is the lime green. Can you imagine looking out your window at that one?

We've decided that we like Charleston even better than Kentucky. We're already talking about coming back next spring break.

Love to all...

Tuesday morning in Charleston

Good morning all,

It's a beautiful morning here in Charleston. The sun is shining and its breezy. The puppies and I just came in from a 45 minute walk (pull). There are nice neighborhoods here to walk in, I chose all the ones with the "private" signs! We all had a much better nights rest last night and the girls are still sleeping. Because of all these plusses, I signed us up for another night here. Hopefully, when they get up, we'll head out to see a plantation or two and explore downtown. Of course it all comes down to where puppies are allowed! I must say it's been interesting coursing a trip with no plans all around puppies! Hope y'all have a good day. Will post more later as we see more things.

Love to all....
