I had so much fun Lounging around with the Goats, longhorns and Thor the Goose! Getting to know the Lanes was a wonderful experience too, they are so knowledgeable and passionate about their farm that I left with a wealth of knowledge, I will be back soon as I can't wait to see all my new found friends!

The Flowertown Festival is a great opportunity to support local businesses. There are hundreds of…read morevendors and tents set up from big to small businesses. If you are looking for a small item for the house out a flashy golf cart they got it for you. A festival won't be anything without food. There were rows of food vendors down both sides of Main Street with everything. We went with an empanadas and churros. The empanadas were absolutely amazing. Before leaving we had to finish up with fresh kettle corn and candied nuts. The only downside is the large crowds. If that's not your thing I would recommend arriving on Friday when the crowds are much smaller.

I learned from prior years to arrive at the festival early to secure a parking space. Upon arrival…read morethere was a short walk to reach the festival area which spands a few blocks. I believe there were approximately 45 vendors this year. Vendors range from a vast variety of food trucks, Jewelry makers, plants and floral, home decor, and local charities to include the animal society. There were so many food options to choose from ranging from funnel cakes to gyros and everything in between. There were some small carnival rides in the rear of the festival that might be nice for kids, and also picnic tables along the road to stop to eat or rest. Overall it was a relaxing stroll on a nice sunny day with a variety of foods/vendors to choose from and proceeds help to benefit the local community.

There is a lot of information about the "Swamp Fox", Francis Marion. The museum then processes through the American history.

Drayton Hall is beautiful and is filled with rich history of slave life and family heritage. It's…read moreworth it to take 1-2 hours out of your day to enjoy the property! The entrance fee is $32 dollars. It is $18 for ages 7-15, and ages 7 and under are free. You save $3 if you pay online. The extensive driveway and parking lot is not paved and was pretty bad for potholes last February. We arrived about 5 minutes after the 4:00 o'clock tour, and the staff were kind enough to take us to our tour group via a golf cart. If you want to see the inside of the plantation, you HAVE to take a guided tour. The guided tour lasts about 1-1.5 hours and is extremely detailed with many points of interest and knowledgeable tour guides. Parking may be an issue if busy, but there is an auxiliary lot so you should be alright. After your tour is complete, there are some small cottages to explore on your own, a gift shop, and a small museum. Out of all the things to do in Charleston, Drayton Hall should be towards the top of your list. We had a good time!

Drayton Hall is a plantation that is in a state of conservation. There is a tendency in the area to…read moretry to conserve rather than restore buildings. About 20 miles SE of Summerville and on the right bank of the Ashley River and the pretty Hwy 61 is located this Palladian style mansion that survived both the Revolutionary war and the Civil War and that means a lot when you consider that the Revolutionary War was won in South Carolina regardless of what some will say, you win some and you lose some. The tendency to conserve rather than to restore makes you use your imagination to see how this house must've been back in the early days. Some of the materials were imported from the old world like the heavy columns, quite an achievement considering today would require the use of heavy cranes so the use of labor and imagination directing a large number of people must've been a delicate task. Can't deny the fact that they acknowledge that enslaved people took an important roll in building and running this place, delicate subject but well recognized by the tour guide and the museum in site. The house is the focus of the 600 acre property that was in the hands of seven generations of the Drayton family, amazing structure considering there were no Palladian architects in the area back in 1738 when John Drayton bought the land and it took him 15 years to build. A lot a lot more can be said about this place but I am not a historian just simply recommend everyone to come and experience this place that will transport you in time and will make you appreciate history and legacy. Just wish money was no object to the conservation effort.

The party host was really great and made everything run smoothly. The only thing I don't like is the mechanical space ship (like a mechanical bull).

It would be much better if it had some kind of soft material around the front of it.

Still don't love it, but once you step foot on to the large open field, the music slowly growing in volume, rides starting to turn, yea, it does. A preemptive apology for only one food picture, it took all that I had within me to steer 230lbs of dogs from hyper induced scent stimuli tracking and tracing. The brisket, seafood, other dogs rear ends, they were in sniffing shangrala heaven from start to finish, so my time revolved around apologizing and avoided a second near miss face plant, twisted ankle or wrenched hammy due to an inordinate amount of these large grey outer space cosmic rocks that lay strewn across the entire perimeter. I'm thinking my movements resembled that of a one man and two dog drunkin' konga line. Second truck available -- Shrimp Po Boy, my kinda breakfast food. Eleven dollars -- a bit steep, but after a chatting up with the owner it all made perfect sense. Bread from New Orleans, local shrimp, you get the picture and that folks concludes my food pictures--made up for it with the successful truck pictures whilst battling the many adverse conditions. The weather pleasant, a layer or two extra was all I needed, a bit over cast but to drink and eat and frolic among the many tasty options in late January? No brainer. I chased the shrimp with a large black coffee from a crimson red truck (or was it an inflatable stand? I can't recall) shaped like a mug, then headed for the Bloody Mary booth and carefully double fisted a turn and onward to the Cuban sandwiches. But my walking pattern was all wrong and I then diverted to a one by one truck stop plan of attack. Music now growing louder, people now filling in faster -- so I thought it best to make haste, as I will here, as my arms lengthened now spanned from 35 and a half inches to an elongated 36 and a quarter. The center of the field was well set up nicely with a very long table and a few satellite tables scattered around the corners. Stuck at the far left was some corporate booths for phones and cars and such, along with some tee shirts, wood and local leather workings. And that about says it. Easy access on and off the highway, reasonable parking but it's what on the inside that counts and the 8th Annual Charleston Food Truck Festival was a wonderful event to be sure.
