Holiday Magic: Night of 1000 Candles

Picture 1

This weekend, a few good friends and their parents invited us to go to the Night of 1000 Candles showcase at Brookgreen Gardens in Myrtle Beach, SC, just north of Pawley's Island. An hour and a half drive from Charleston to the Gardens, the drive is totally worth it (and, of course, the friends were, too!).

What a magical experience. This was hands down the most spectacular light display I've ever seen. Sprawling the expanse of what once was a historic plantation (Oaks Plantation) were massive 300+ year old oak trees with hanging spanish moss, reflecting pools, and more picturesque statues than you could count, adorned with an artistic lighting showcase of candles, twinkling lights, and Japanese lanterns. Simply amazing... To stay warm you are able to walk around (outdoors only) with coffee, hot chocolate, wine, or beer that is sold before you enter the gardens. A hot drink is recommended to keep those hands warm.
