Angel Oak Tree

Monday, June 25, 2012

On the way into Charleston on one of our days we stopped in James Island to see the historic Angel Tree. I had pinned a picture of the tree on Pinterest and had no idea that we were going to be so close to it. It is cool in pictures, but even more awesome in person. They say that it is between 300-400 years old and is the biggest of its kind east of the Mississippi with a shade area of 17,000 square feet!! Craziness.


Doesn't Jonah look teeny tiny next to it?


The branches soared way into the sky but also dipped into the ground and came back out again.


Here's our little family next to the big tree.

Love the "teeny tiny Jonah" pic. Have I mentioned that oak is my favorite tree? :)
