I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Cypress Gardens in my home, Berkeley County, S.C., has reopened! It has been 3 1/2 years since a big storm wreaked havoc and the park was closed for repairs. The park is waiving admission fee for Berkeley County residents until the end of June! I don’t know when I will be back in South Carolina, but I can’t wait to see everything that has been done to restore this fantastic attraction.

I took this photo many years ago, from one of the trails at Cypress Gardens. It’s still one of my favorites.
