Vacation Day 6-Charleston, SC

 Today we traveled to the famous Ashley River Road.  There are three plantation homes that are historically famous to visit in Charleston.  We originally thought we would visit the three quickly and then move to the next attraction for the day.  Boy-were we wrong!  We traveled to Middleton Place first (see picture below) and found that is has miles and miles of landscaping, walking, and quarters to visit.  A must see if you visit Charleston!
Middleton Place is a National Historic Landmark and home to America’s Oldest Landscaped Gardens. The Garden Club of America has called the 65 acres “the most important and most interesting garden in America”.  Built in 1755, the House Museum interprets four generations of Middleton Family.  It is birthplace of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.   The property has miraculously remained under the same family stewardship for some 320 years.

Gotta love some old oaks...ahh the south

 Below are pictures taken of Caroline in the stables at the Middleton Place. 


 ...the sheep attacked the stroller....Ha! You should have seen Caroline-she was having a moment!
 We were just walking along and there it was...an alligator!  I thought these things were supposed to be either behind a fence or contained in a swamp...Not so much down here!

  4. I tend not to comment, however after looking at a few of
    the responses here "Vacation Day 6-Charleston, SC". I do
    have a few questions for you if you do not mind. Is it just me or does it look like a few of the responses come across like
    they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional sites, I would like
    to follow anything new you have to post. Could you list of all of your social networking pages
    like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
