Charleston

My mom came out to visit recently and we had a great time. She loves history and really wanted to see a plantation. Ryan and I knew we had to take her to Charleston, South Carolina. There's plantation all over the south but there's tons of neat historical sites in Charleston. We went to Drayton Hall which was a plantation built in the 1730s!!! It had huge, gorgeous live oaks and still looked green and beautiful in the middle of January. It felt like the coldest day of the year, especially with the wind, but we had a good time. :) 
After we went downtown, walking along the boardwalk and admiring all the old homes and ocean. We even saw a dolphin! It was fun and we want to go back, there's so much to see and do!

The details were incredible for being built almost 300 year ago!
