It's been awhile since I've been to Berkley so some of these picture were taken when Elbert and I celebrated an anniversary there.
Some were taken from http://www.berkeleyplantation.com/index.html Hope you enjoy them.
The long driveway makes for a GRAND entrance to the estate

My husband in a GRAND pose before the brick house. It was a cold day however, we had such fun.
The GREAT rooms have double arches which were built by Benjamin Harrison VI in 1790 at the direction of Thomas Jefferson
A GARDEN path. The gardens have 5 terraces dug by hand before the Revolutionary War.
We ended our visit with lunch in the adorable little cafe on-ground. I think the building used to be the carriage house. What a nice way to spend our anniversary!
I'll have to try to get there some day. It's just the type of place I like to visit.
ReplyDeleteLove the shots, Mom! I know it was a special day for you guys...I remember seeing these before and knowing you had a wonderful day there! Great post!
ReplyDeleteglad you took time out to celebrate your special day and each other.
ReplyDeleteMust have been a wonderful day. The grounds there look lovely. Great memories!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary...love those gardens! And what a house! Isn't it amazing those houses could still be in such wonderful shape after all these years, yet my house built 19 years ago is falling down? lol Says a lot for quality workmanship back in the day! Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful area --and one I want to return to someday. We didn't visit Berkley --but did visit the Shirley Plantation that day since my hubby is a Robert E. Lee fan!!!!! Gorgeous area. Love your photos.

We're so fortunate to have all those plantation homes so nearby. Have you ever visited Bacon's Castle? They open for the season next week. (The tours aren't the same as they were a few years ago, but it's still wonderful just to be there.)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place! I love brick structures.
ReplyDeleteThat gate looks grand!
