Braeden and I were in shorts and t-shirts on the first day of winter in Charleston. We went to Cypress Gardens. It is a preserved swamp. They created trails that go around and through the swamp. It is one of the most beautiful places I have been to since living in the lowcountry.
There are alligators (both captive and wild), snakes, a butterfly house, reptile house - and of course - the swamp itself. If you have seen the movie
The Patriot, you have seen Cypress Gardens. The swamp scenes from the movie were filmed there.

| This is the sign at the entrance to the swamp. |

| I think this should be our Xmas card for next year. |

| This alligator was probably 8 or 9 feet long. There were two other giant alligators in this area. |

| Braeden was able to feed the fish, ducks and turtles inside the Butterfly House. |
