Plantation Days at Middleton Plantation

Today was such a beautiful crisp November day! I love the Lowcountry. You can wake up to 39 degree weather with the sun shining bright and by mid-afternoon it can be a gorgeous 65 degrees. That is what today was. We took the kids out to Middleton Place for Plantation Days. The Plantation was working and all the volunteers were showing life as it was 200 years ago. Juliette was fascinated by everything - two main things though - the horses, June Bug and Pearl in particular and the man making honey only because he let her sample 6 spoonfuls.

Tripp enjoyed the day. He laughed at the pigs and enjoyed watching all of the activity and a simply perfect day to be outside.

Her friend Pearl, we could have left her with the horse all afternoon and she would be been completely satisfied

I may be biased but is the Lowcountry not gorgeous?

Juliette got to go in the stable and play with June Bug before she did some work showing everyone how sugar used to be pushed out of the sugar cane
