Magnolia Plantation and Gardens

One of the days we were in Charleston, we headed out to the Magnolia Plantation & Gardens.  We picked a very hot day to do this, thankfully the plantation was as well shaded as I remembered it.  The place had a great petting zoo that entertained Noah.  It had a beautiful house, lots of little lakes (alligators included) and pretty much everything you would expect to find in a plantation and garden.  Next to Morris Island Lighthouse, this was by far one of my favorite places to visit.
