Photos of White Point Gardens, Charleston, South Carolina
My two-part trip this week has brought me back to Charleston. I spent some time at White Point Gardens since I wrote an entry about it a few months ago. It was quite lovely even on a day in early December.

I love your Charleston posts as it seems like one of the most storied and beautiful cities in America.
