Botany Bay Plantation

We went to Botany Bay Plantation, which is just up the road, on Monday when it was chilly (high 40's). The area is almost 5 acres and a combination of two plantations from the 1800's. The first picture is in front of Picnic Pond which was added in the 1970's. The sign about the alligators caught our eye! The second picture is of a brick beehive well which was built by the slaves in the 1700's and continued to flow until about 20 years ago. The third is the road from the main road into the plantations. The live oaks are huge and amazing and they grow all over around here.
It was cold on Friday-28 and Saturday- 23 degrees (can you say spoiled?). We really didn't mind it too much, however the locals were a sight to watch. The news was showing people how to cut cardboard to put on their windshields to keep off the frost, explaining what to use to clean their windshield (scrapers, drivers license, spatula. etc). They even tried to freeze a tray of ice cubes on the side walk. We are usually walking around in shorts, much to the amazement of the rangers here!
You'll notice a few changes on the site, I've been learning new things and trying to add some new stuff to the site like the links to our e-bay stores. I was proud of myself when I figured out how to do that! Watch for more additions and changes!
