Charleston, SC Flashbacks

Okay, I'm usually not very organized (as many of you already know), but tonight something has hit me. I took some pictures on my camera and then began organizing the ones on my lap top. As I was doing this, memories rushed in and I began re-visiting old pictures, memories, trips, and favorite moments. I wanted to share a few of those with you guys. So, below are some of my favorite moments with friends.
Charleston, SC is probably my most favorite place to visit. Partly because my dearest friends (Jackie & Russ & Baby Noa) live there but also because of the history of the city. So here are some of my favorite photos from my favorite place to visit! I've been told that Tulsa is the Charleston of the West...I'm choosing to believe this is true!


I simply love this picture and home! There are so many homes in Charleston that I just adore. Driving downtown along The Battery or walking along Kings Street are some of my most favorite things to do.





Alissa, Jackie and I always go to a place called "The Sanctuary", which is an elaborate hotel on Kiawa Island. These private beaches contain some precious girl time and provide many photo shoot opportunities as well. If you are ever in Charleston it is definitely a grand place to visit!

On my 30th birthday, Kris and I made a trip to Charleston for our summer vacation. While there, Jackie and Russ had a friend take us out on a sailboat...it was so much fun! We had a blast and a few times felt like we might be going overboard. Jackie was ready to fight off the sharks if the opportunity presented itself!







Russ and Kris are showing their strength here...look at Russ' face! Priceless.






Angel Oak: On one of our first trips out to Charleston, Jakie took Alissa and I to the largest oak tree in North America (if I remember correctly). When we first pulled up we stopped to ask where the tree was. Of course, it stood right in front of us! How can you miss the world's largest oak tree? We admired the massive tree, branches, and took pictures galore and later found out that Angel Oak is a "haven for rats and squirrels". Praise the Lord we didn't see any of these critters while visiting this historic site.
