Charleston Day 5

To anyone who actually reads this I am finishing up the Charleston trip. I haven't been in town the past few weeks and when I have been it has been repacking for the next adventure. To be honest day five paled in comparison to day four. I loved day four! Today we walked around Charles Towne Landing, the first official settlement in the area. They had animals in cages and alligators not in cages. The grounds were beautiful and I love the Spanish Moss on the trees. Overall though, it was more of a park that I would visit for a Sunday walk or bike ride with the family. Do understand though, that if you are going to travel to Charleston this is a must see. Just do it before the other cool stuff so it doesn't seem as anti-climatic. Afterwards we went to Middleton Place. The gardens were very nice but I loved Magnolia Gardens better. I also think the heat was getting to all of us which made walking around outside less than desirable. Once again, Middleton Place is a must see. Every night we have gone out for dinner at some little quaint place in Charleston. If anyone wants a list of places email and I'll give you my favorites. Most evenings after we walked around in the heat we would relax in the pool at the hotel. Nice way to cool off from the sweltering day.
