Guess what! My best friend Shannon came to visit me in Charleston!!!!!! (Yes, it does require that many exclamation marks.)

| Welcome to the Lowcountry, Shannon! |
I was so excited this past week to have my dear friend from Oklahoma and her husband, Neal, stay with us for 5 days. Shannon and I have been friends since eighth grade and I have missed her terribly these past few years we have been away from Oklahoma. Since we didn't go to the same college, we figured these 5 days were the most time we've spent together since high school! So crazy! But the good news is, after 5 days of touring her and Neal around Charleston, I still love her. Just kidding, Shan. I had so much fun with you two!
On their first full day in Charleston, I had to take them for a walking tour downtown. We toured the neighborhoods South of Broad, visited waterfront park, the battery, the City Market and King Street. What an afternoon!

| A highlight of the day: swinging on the pier at Waterfront Park. |
And we finished the day off with a true Southern lunch at Jestine's Kitchen. The fried chicken and fried okra were amazing, but we were really there for the chocolate Coca-Cola cake and the sweet tea.

| Yum! |
More Shannon and Katie adventures to come....
