So it's quarter after 6 in the morning, I texted Darrin, event coordinator for Mel Robbins. I'm just a lady who has experienced and have friends experiencing menopause. I also have Energy Work clients inspired by Mel's book Let Them, I learned all of this just in this last week!
1. McLeod -possibly my favorite, slave focused and honors those who came without choice , shop, some off trail walking
2. Boone and McLeod both feature Gullah historians/singers/descendants
3. Middleton - manicured, not dog friendly but lovely pasture grazing livestock and a 1000 year old tree, incredible Revolutionary War time history as well as Civil war, house is furnished , loved Micheaux history and the Camellias, learned alot, fun garden and gift shops, fancy restaurant
4. Magnolia gardems- I went with Beau, incredible gardens, didn't visit zoo or house, huge grounds, Divine, easy walking, alligators, food available
5. Boone Hall - portions dog friendly , watch out for poisonous snakes falling out of trees, beautiful home, easy walking , restaurant and shop
6. Drayton - small grounds, 45 minute walking tour, recommend hiking shoes, house open but unfurrnished, alligators and snakes , gift shop, active conservation open for viewing
Upon entering the park, brackish lake ahead, dog wash area to the left, watch out for alligators. I've only seen them on the other side of the lake but always good to be cautious as they are strong and surprisingly fast.

After visiting Middleton yesterday, went downtown Charleston today on Broad Street parking near the Mills House Boutique Hotel, they have a dog friendly atmosphere, nice bathroom!
Anywho, noticed on the patio, camelias!!! Surely inspired by Andrè Micheaux"s gift, wow!
Also happened across a satue and placard about George Washington.
Happy Memorial Day y'all!

This morning was a Waffle House kind of day, once a year or so ya gotta go cuz you're craving waffles and today had the bliss of a Divine appointment. Met cashier Rose who commented on liking my rose quartz necklace I forgot I was wearing, I have another one at home and was sweetly nudged by Universe to give her mine.
Lessgo! It's going to be a fantastic day, heading out to Middleton Plantation later, will fill you in afterwards, woohoo!
