8/3/2017. Charleston

We are in Georgetown now for two nights, but I still need to finish my Charleston blogging.  I’ll add more pics of Charleston and say that we really enjoyed this town.  We had a late lunch at Slightly North of Broad (SNOB) and had one of the absolutely best meals of the trip.  We should have taken a picture.  Tim and I also had a lunch at the Tatooed Moose- OMG we shared a duck confit sandwich that was unbelievable.  So much food to try and not a big enough belly.

Can you believe this sandwich?
Just look at all that tasty goodness.
Can you see why we split it?
Beth and I really wanted to go to a plantation.  We chose Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant.  This he house that is currently on the property was the 3rd or 4th house on the site, but the property was a plantation since 1681.

The drive into Boone Hall.
The slave quarters housed up to 10 slaves.
Another of our “gotta do” stops was the Angel Oak on St. John’s Island.  Estimates put the age of this tree at over 500 years old.  The trunk is 28 ft. in circumference.  Just beautiful.

See. Isn’t it awesome?
These branches are amazing.

One last piece of Charleston trivia.  Whose house do you think this is?

Look closely for a clue.
Here’s a better clue.
Give up? This house belongs to the owner of Piggly Wiggley grocery stores.
Next stop, McClellanville.
