Charleston - Day 2: Magnolia Gardents Part 2

Our first tour was on the tram.  We first squished onto one row and then decided to spread out and be more comfortable. 
It was a good tour and we got to see lots alligators.  Big ones and even baby ones.  It was pretty cool.  We also saw lots of different birds and flowers and plants.  It was a good way to see the whole plantation.
After that tour we got to walk around some more before our boat tour.  They had an old plantation house that you could tour, but we didn't really want to do that.  Teagan did, so she went on the tour by herself. 
Julie and I walked around before meeting the others at the boat tour place.  We were running a little late and worried they would leave us.  But we made it on time and then had to wait just a little minute for Teagan, Mom, and Wendy.  My mom had our tickets so we felt a little bad but the boat guide let us come and sit while we waited for the others. 
After they came we were able to get our tour started.  The tour guide joked around a lot with us and was super funny.  He called us "the sisters" and kept making lots of funny comments about us. 
A marathon was being run that weekend in Charleston and he thought we were there for that.  I could tell if he was serious or joking, but we laughed.
We saw a lot of alligators in the water and learned a lot more about the farming that was done a long time ago.  It was all really cool information and amazing what they used to do for goods long ago.
After that tour we walked around a little more and found an amazing white bridge.  It was so beautiful with the water around it and all the green trees and plants.  They told us that lots of brides come there to get their pictures taken.  I can totally see why, it was amazingly beautiful.
After all that we were hungry and ready for lunch.  So we went back to the main shopping area and got us some food.  After eating we decided that we had seen all that we wanted to and that were ready to go back to our hotel.
