GATHERING UNDER ANGEL OAK
F
or over twenty years, the Older Adult Ministry has sponsored overnight trips to interesting and exciting locations. These adventures provide times of great fellowship, informative sightseeing and much fun for those traveling with us. This Spring in April, forty-seven CARRIAGE RIDE IN HISTORIC DISTRICT White Memorial members and friends traveled to Charleston, and enjoyed sightseeing in this historic and award-winning city and its surroundings. Our days were full and exciting as we toured one of the most charming and unique cities in the South. We started by riding horse drawn carriages through narrow streets as we learned about Charleston’s storied history and saw its many famous landmarks and churches. While we were touring Magnolia Plantation and its beautiful romantic gardens, we rode a Nature Train to visit the Swamp Gardens and NATURE TRAIN RIDE AT MAGNOLIA saw many water loving creatures (think alligators) and abundant bird population. We had lunch with peacocks nearby, which was a real treat indeed. That afternoon we boarded a boat and cruised through Charleston’s harbor and viewed the city from the water, as well as Fort Sumter and other islands nearby. After a dinner feast at Hyman’s Seafood Restaurant, we attended an unforgettable concert featuring music that defined Charleston’s rich heritage PEACOCK WELCOME AT MAGNOLIA GARDENS – gospel, Gershwin and classics.
The next morning we headed to Patriot’s Point – one of the world’s largest naval and maritime museums – and we were moved by the immensity of Yorktown Aircraft Carrier and its history in combat as well as peacetime operations (like the recovery of the Apollo 8 capsule and astronauts after they successfully orbited the moon in 1968). Lunch this day was near the City Market where we had AIRCRAFT CARRIER FLIGHT DECK some extra time for shopping. In the afternoon we enjoyed both a driving and a walking tour of Charleston, so we could have a greater appreciation of all it has to offer – including seeing The Citadel and its beautiful Chapel, the Battery and its magnificent waterfront homes, and Historic District with its wrought iron gates, well kept gardens, and single-wide houses with their famous piazzas. After a delicious seafood dinner on James Island, we enjoyed our traditional and special sing along with the Morehead Ramblers – WMPC’s own John and Sandy DeLuca leading us in delightful fellowship and song. HARBOR CRUISE BOARDING
On our last day we visited the Charleston Tea Plantation and saw thousands of tea plants growing in the fertile low country soil. We learned how they are harvested and processed in this unique location. We had a picnic lunch among the live oaks in this serene setting and then we were off to see PICNIC AT TEA PLANTATION Angel Oak – a huge tree with enormous spreading branches – and we gathered there for one last group photo. Those who went with us know why we look forward to these trips every year, and we truly had a wonderful time! We invite others to join us when we travel again next Spring. Watch for more information later in the year, and plan to come travel with us! You will be glad you did!
