Part III Carriage Ride and Boone Hall

Before we left, we asked many of our friends for suggestions of things to do on our trip. The most popular thing was to take a carriage ride. I didn't know how I would feel about it. Was it going to be worth the money? Were the kids going to enjoy it? It turned out to be my favorite activity. We got to see so much of downtown. Beautiful OLD homes with so much history. The only problem is for some reason we were so into listening to the guide and looking we didn't hardly take any pictures (not to mention that McKenna was tired and didn't want to sit still.) If you ever make it to Charleston - take a carriage ride. I can't wait to go back and experience it again. Here are our very few pictures of the ride:

Check out the cobblestone streets. AWESOME!

BOONE HALL

We spent an afternoon at a Plantation. I've always wanted to go and see one. It's fascinating to me. The home was beautiful and the grounds were incredible.(See Abuela was here after all.)

This plantation had a row of slave houses. This last one had a stage and this man shared stories, music, language and culture of the slaves back in the day.

Thanks Abuela and Grumps for such a fun trip. But more importantly, thanks for visiting us and sharing memories with us and our children.
