During our annual trip to
Myrtle Beach in April 2008, we drove down to Brookgreen Gardens.
This is a garden museum located a few miles south of Myrtle Beach, right
on Route 17. We went there several years ago when the kids were
young. This isn't exactly the kind of attraction that three young
kids enjoyed, so we decided to go back where we could more leisurely
take in the sights.
Brookgreen Gardens is
now a National Historic Landmark. According to their website, they
have "the most significant collection of figurative sculpture in an
outdoor setting by American artists in the world and has the only zoo
accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums on the coast of the
Carolinas."
As part of our visit, we also
took a boat ride through a river in the area where we saw several gators
and other wildlife.
