Plantations, Patriots and Pecans
As you travel to Florence, SC, a lively narrative of the life of the patriot, Francis Marion, will explain the area's love for him. The first stop will be a tasty experience at Young Pecans Gift Shop, where you will find candies, gift baskets, jams and more. The Columns, the last working plantation in the Pee Dee (circa 1850's) is our next stop and still owned by descendents of the original owner. Greeted in period clothing, you will be given a tour of the house and gardens while hearing the history of the plantation. Next is a delicious Southern lunch graciously served in the atmospherer of an old well-known boardinghouse, Webster Manor, and then on to The South Carolina Tobacco Museum. There you will get a glimpse into an earlier way of life. This trip is completed with a chocolate lover's delight, a stop at the Russell Stover Outlet.

Mepkin Abbey and Charleston Shopping
Mepkin Abbey founded in 1949 the circa 1681 plantation affords the visitor a look into the life of an authentic abbey. The first part of our tour includes the magnificent 400+ year-old grounds and gardens of the Mepkin Plantation. The second part of our tour takes us through the monastery and daily life of solitude, silence, prayer and work performed by the monks that live there. The property of Mepkin Abbey has a long and storied history and was originally used by the Native Americans as a hunting ground. The work "Mepkin" means serene and lovely in Native American, and you are sure to agree that it is appropriately named after our tour. After lunch, enjoy shopping in the renowned Charleston City Market area where you will step back in time to experience the culture and adventure of shopping in the old south. You will find handcrafted, unique gifts, Southern cookbooks, rice mixes, sweet grass baskets and Charleston t-shirts. Along the streets, you will find fabulous shops offering a variety of art, ceramics, boutiques, antiques and candy shops, all waiting for you to explore before heading back to Myrtle Beach.
