Charleston

We took a long weekend to go to Charleston to enjoy ourselves before the baby arrives. Here is James looking cute on the famous Rainbow Row.
We visited several historic locations, including the Middleton Place Plantation, which dates back to the 1700's. Here I am sitting on a massive live oak overlooking twin butterfly lakes.
The plantation owners buried many of the garden statues and other valuables to protect them from Northern troops during the Civil War. The gardens around the plantation were amazing!

James makes friends with a rooster on the farm at the plantation.



The trees on the ground are about 800 years old. they were huge!

Here I am at the Aquarium overlooking the bay.
