Charleston II - Magnolia Plantation

We headed back to Charleston for a night to use a groupon to Magnolia Plantation that we didn't get a chance to visit last time.

It was raining again so we got to use our raincoats.

This red flower could be seen every once in awhile among lots of greenery, adding to it's beauty.

Had to pose by the pretty flowering bush. Addy collected some peacock feathers and Benny a bamboo stick.

Joyce must always see the farm animals. And talk to them as well.

I never knew taking pictures of bridges was so fun.

After walking around the grounds we explored the Audubon Swamp. Very unique trees with roots on top of the ground grow there.

Lots of walking...

Did you see that alligator!

After touring the plantation, we went to the Mellow Mushroom for dinner and to the hotel.

The pool had these huge beach balls. The kids could have swam forever.

The hotel and our suite were amazing. We had two bedrooms, and the boys slept on the foldout couch in the living room. The view of the marsh was awesome and there was even a kitchen. Must stay at a Residence Inn again.

The next day we ate a delicious free breakfast or two, went swimming and explored downtown before heading home.

We went to the City Market and I got a new hat and ear rings. The kids got candy.
