Charleston Garden Inspiration

Quick trip to Charleston, SC = more garden inspiration and camera practice:

But found this great hotel downtown.  So charming and wonderful staff.  We were able to walk everywhere.  



 Love all the iron work.







Window boxes....gotta find a DIY so I can build some of these!


Camera practice....


Loved this door.


 Loved the house colors:




Don't have any hydrangea but want to try this and gardenias.  Where can I plant these?







And for my patio one day....a joggling board....because it makes me happy!

Taking the scenic route?

So we were headed to Williamsburg and thought we would take the scenic route.  Plugged it into the GPS and we were off.

As we got closer the little icon on the GPS changed to a little boat.  Uh oh...what did that mean.
Guess what.  We had to take a ferry over.  This was something new.

So we waited to board the ferry and as we pulled up they stopped our car?  Hmmm.
They ask if we were familiar with the random check?  No...but go ahead we are just folks in a mini van with out of state plates.  They searched under the car with a mirror on a stick and then looked in the back?  We were good to go.




Oh...by the way...the ferry was Free..!
