We all slept in today. I guess we needed the extra sleep after our beach day. We drove to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. The day started off good as we first went on a boat ride around an area that used to be an old Rice field. Rice was big time around before Civil War times. While motoring around we saw about 6 Alligators, a couple of Herons, an Egret, and an Osprey. Sora was worried about seeing Alligators because she thought they would want to eat us.
After the boat we wondered around for awhile and it started raining on us. We found some shelter by one of the houses for a few minutes until it let up a bit. We decided to go to the horticulture maze even though it was still slightly raining. Going through the maze we walked through big puddles of water. It rained more and we kept walking. It was kind of nice to walk through the rain since we haven't been rain at all so far this Summer.

After Magnolia we were soaked and needed dry clothes. After a quick change at the hotel we went back out to check out JICP (James Island County Park) where I used to work. We stopped for a few minutes at the Tidal Creek. The creek was my favorite place to go Crabbing. We walked around here for a few minutes and saw about 100 little crabs near the bank in the muddy grassy areas.
We drove downtown to see Rainbow Row and across the bridge to Mt. Pleasant, then to a great place for gelato. Today was a pretty good day. Tomorrow we are going to Cherokee North Carolina. There we are planning on going to a Pow-Wow, Great Smoky Mountains, maybe the Biltmore, fireworks on the 4th, and whatever else we can find in the area.
