One of my favorite experiences during our trip to Charleston was heading out to the country and visiting a plantation. It was my first trip to the South {can you believe that?!} and I knew I just had to see some of the famous mossy oaks during my stay. There are quite a few amazing plantations in Charleston and we had a really tough time choosing which one to visit, but the gorgeous weather we had ended up swaying us to spend the morning wandering through Magnolia Plantation's famous gardens. Asides from a near fatal encounter with the biggest spider I have ever seen {it still haunts my dreams!} we had a wonderful morning getting lost in Magnolia's romantic gardens.
On the way back into Charleston we stopped to visit the Angel Oak Tree, a massive sprawling wonder that is estimated to be approximately 500 years old. The light was a little off while we were there so the pictures don't really do it justice {plus I really could have used a wide angle lens to capture the tree in it's entirety}, but all I can say is it's a MUST see if you're ever in the Charleston area.

Beautiful! I adore Charleston. Probably my favorite little city on the east coast. I have yet to visit a plantation but would love to add this to a future itinerary!
