..... so off to Dixieland we go!! This springtime trip is two-fold. My grandson arrives home next week after 15 months of serving our country in Iraq. He is stationed near Savannah, GA and we are going to visit him and his sweet family.
While we are in the area, we will go to my favorite spot in the entire USA.....Charleston, SC. I love the plantations, the shopping, the gardens, the people, the weather, the history, and the homes in the old town.
Quite by accident, we happened to be there during the Home and Garden Tours, three years ago. We were able to see lots of the old town homes then, but my thirst for them was not completely quenched.
I hope to see about two day's worth this time, also. The tours are arranged by neighborhoods and each day you can tour a different area. There are usually about 10 homes and
gardens on the daily tour. You are not allowed to take photos inside as most of these homes are current residences of Charleston families.If you ever get the chance, go visit Charleston. I know you, too, will have a wonderful time!
Enjoy!
