We left Myrtle Beach this morning and headed down to the Charleston area. We’ve seen these evacuation route signs everywhere but don’t really know what they’re for; hurricanes or something I guess.
Pretty close to our hotel, we crossed a street that was Hungry Neck Blvd on one side and Sweetgrass Basket Pkwy on the other. Who comes up with street names around here?
We went over to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens which has been around for 300 years or something and is still owned by the original family. It’s been occupied by both British and Rebel forces and was apparently a staging ground for attacks on Charleston. The gardens are the main attraction now and they were really beautiful.
This bench was pretty neat because the trees have grown over and around the wooden bench part.
We also saw this giant spider/web. The spider was about 4 inches across, leg to leg. Kind of creepy.
They had a petting zoo too. The deer really liked us.
And one tried to nibble on Val’s dress.
On the way back to the hotel, we went over the Charleston bridge again which we both liked a lot.
They don’t seem to be the best at classifying vehicles in South Carolina. The license plate on this Mercedes says it’s a truck.
Tomorrow we’re off to Savannah Georgia.
