Charleston: Friends!

I would have to say that the best part of our weekend in Charleston was getting to see our friends Michelle & Kelly. We were able to spend two and a half days together hanging out in Charleston and walking the beaches at Isle of Palms. It was so much fun to catch up and just hang out like we used to. We started our first day by taking a walk on the beach. I have to say I was surprised by: 1. the amount of mosquitoes in the area and 2. that it wasn't very warm out! I wore a spring jacket most of the weekend while we there. It was in the 60s but very windy!! After our walk on the beach we went to Patriots Point to look at the marina there and to see the big air craft carrier docked in the bay. After that we had lunch at a great BBQ place while watching the UK basketball game. We finished up the afternoon relaxing at the beach house and watching more basketball....just like old times!

On our second day we decided to be a little touristy. We took a ferry to Fort Sumter in the Charleston Harbor. I had a lot of fun taking pictures here and exploring the fort. If you have never been here I recommend it. It was fun to see a piece of the civil war history. It was a nice day but very windy and cold with the wind coming off the water. After exploring the fort we did some more exploring of downtown Charleston. I love the old architecture and gardens in this part of town! We had lunch at 82 Queen (also highly recommend) and then walked around downtown Charleston a little more before Eric and I had to get ready for the wedding.

Failed attempt at a group picture....too windy!!

Michelle & Kelly

On our last day together we took one more walk on the beach and enjoyed lunch together before saying good bye. We miss these two SOOOO much! Hopefully we can visit them soon....or they can visit us!
