Anniversary

Trey, Danna, Sheri and I just returned from our trip to Myrtle Beach. We enjoyed the sun, sea, food and a trip to Charleston. The history in Charleston is amazing as are the homes. We toured a "working" plantation although the previous crops grown are not being grown now and it is mainly supported by tourism. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the plantation home but the landscape was beautiful. They estimate one of the trees to be approximately 600 years old. We had a wonderful time and I would suggest Myrtle Beach for a get away place.

Touring Charleston, notice the Hugo waterline.






Anniversary Dinner

Typical slave house made from reject bricks made at the plantation. Bricks could not be sold.
Plantation owners house. This is the 3rd house on the plantation. The first was lost by fire and the second was taken down by the owner at the time and built this house. A lot of the doors, floors and other things were used from the previous home.

Getting to the plantation, 2 of the trees have been lost and 2 or 3 others were damaged from lighting.
How to apply sunscreen?
