  • Charles Towne Landing

    A couple weeks ago we snuck off to Charleston with my mom and stepdad for a visit to Charles Towne Landing.  I can't recommend it enough.  We had the most wonderful day seeing the animals in the Animal Forest, learning about long ago (Charles Towne in 1670)  through living history, touring the Adventure cargo vessel, learning about and investigating an onsite archaeological dig, and the beautiful gardens!  The weather was perfect.  The staff friendly and helpful!  If ever you find yourself in the Charleston area, GO!

    The reflection of the camera makes it appear that the otter is taking a picture of Gracie!

    In some of the reviews we read, people were complaining about the amount of walking.  They do have shuttle services but the day was so beautiful and there was so much to see!  A sweet friend of mine pointed out that a lot of walking only means a larger habitat for the animals.  Yay for large animal habitats!

  • It took me a second to figure out that otter picture before I read your caption!  That is too funny.
    If we lived near there, I think that is a place my family would definitely Love to visit!
    Happy Monday to you. =)

  • What wonderful pics!

  • @Elizabethmarie_1 - One of those at just the right moment pics.  Our oldest two daughters each had cameras.  So the pic was taken with one camera and the other camera reflected in the glass.  :)

    @Carla67 - Thank you! 

  • As far as I know, we have no otters here.  I've been wanting to find a video of them to watch with my student.  I think they are such inquisitive creatures!!

    This place is so beautiful!!  My favorite pic is the bride and groom getting their photographs taken!

  • @betheelou - Any zoo we go to the otters are always my favorite.  They seem so playful and even mischevious.  :)   Hope you can find a good video to watch!  My girls just loved the bride too.
