We arrived at the Magnolia Plantation & Gardens by mid morning and signed up for the Plantation House Tour as well as the Slavery to Freedom tour. The Slavery to Freedom tour included a quick shuttle ride to the five former slave dwellings where an informative talk detailed what life would have been like for the slaves who lived in the houses. We were then given a few minutes to walk through each one. Once that tour concluded, we had some time before the tour of the plantation house started, so we spent some time wandering in the beautiful gardens.

After our time at the Magnolia Plantation we drove across the Ravenel Bridge so that Jim could tour the USS Yorktown, before heading for dinner at Red's Ice House on Mount Pleasant. It started to rain while we were eating and by the time we were finished, much of the parking lot was flooded and the rain continued to come down in sheets! It was time to call it a night!
