We started off our summer with a bang by spending a week in the dirty South. We got to visit Callie & Shaun in South Carolina and Kristina & Bryce in Georgia. We fell in love with the South and were so grateful to our hosts for showing us such a great time.
Our first major tourist stop was Boone Hall Plantation. It is basically in Callie's backyard, it's so close and was such the perfect start to our Southern experience.
The bus ride around the plantation was awesome! The little one-lane dirt road we were on separated this fresh-water lake from the salt-water everywhere else. Supposedly it's alligator infested, but we didn't see any - bummer!
Lexi and me in the butterfly house.
Libby liked the koi fish almost as much as the butterflies all around.
The girls and me on the live-oak lined entrance to the plantation. Pictures don't do it justice!
Brad and the girls just cruising the grounds. The Spanish moss everywhere was so cool!
Libby loved these giant pink flowers in the garden.
The smoke-house.
Lexi enjoyed just cruising around the grass lawn leading up to the main house.
Rocking on the porch of the plantation overlooking the garden and slave-houses in the distance - what could be more Southern than that?!
The docks where they would transport all their crops to the city and just ride the tides to get there. How crazy!
Yep, it's official - we love the South!
It looks so pretty.
