CHARLESTON
To get into the Southern spirit (and because we couldn't check into our B&B until later that afternoon), we started our weekend getaway with a visit to Boone Hall, which is still a working plantation. Boone Hall is located in Mt. Pleasant, which is just a short drive across the river from Charleston. One of the highlights of visiting this plantation (and what drew us to the location) is the entryway to the property- a driveway lined with at least 50 live oak trees that arch across to form a canopy and is aptly named Avenue of Oaks. The Spanish moss left no doubt that we were in the South and Ashley was soon craving a sweet tea.
