thanksgiving day in charleston (part one) : charles towne landing

on thanksgiving day, most attractions were closed, but we found out that charles towne landing would be open… and we’re so glad it was! it turned out to be a terrific way to spend the morning, especially with a child. charles towne landing is a state historic site marking the exact place where english settlers landed in 1670 and started a colony.

we walked along the trails, under the beautiful trees with hanging spanish moss. magical!
