we took our family on a roadtrip to charleston for a few days before christmas. we returned to the inn at middleton place because we enjoyed it so much the last time.
idyllic views on the middleton plantation.
hanging around on magnolia plantation.
seeing the sights around charleston. we got to enjoy the beautiful christmas decorations on people’s front doors. i especially loved the lush magnolia leaf wreaths.
the aiken-rhett house (1820). this house tour was particularly interesting as the house was preserved but unrestored, so we could see the mansion and its slave quarters in its original state.
eating. fried chicken, shrimp sausage grits, crab cake eggs benedict.
christmas fun and lights. we braved an obscene amount of traffic to get to the festival of lights…painful to get there, but fun once we arrived. there was a lot of christmas carol singing in the car to pass the time!

the fried chicken was perfectly balanced with the lemony collard greens and rustic mashed potatoes.
