Amici da Sicilia

Our good friends from Sicily, The Whippins, were in Charleston for a few days.  We were honored to have Maureen, Tom and Dawson spend a night with us.  I met Maureen at the base gym and we became fast friends when we discovered that we had boys the same age, a similar twisted sense of humor and we lived in the same neighborhood in Motta Sant' Anastasia. 

We kicked off their visit with happy hour on the beach and then we ate a big Lowcountry boil dinner at the house and stayed up late catching up and laughing.  It was a great visit and it made me a little homesick for Sicily.
