Show Notes

In this casual Chats with Shana episode, I’m taking you along on our sweaty summer trip to Charleston, South Carolina. 🌴

You’ll hear about:

  • Milo’s first vacation (spoiler: he’s a sand-digging pro)

  • Dining outside in 95° heat… while swatting a swarm of flies

  • Why Folly Beach is a top spot for shark attacks—and why we still went

  • A surprise encounter with a horseshoe crab under the pier

  • The iconic rowboat scene from The Notebook—yep, we went!

  • Tasting frog legs and learning about frog gigging

  • The Southern tradition of painting porch ceilings "haint blue" to keep away spirits

  • Plus, fun facts about pineapples, sweet tea, ghost tours, and more!

You'll also learn natural expressions like “sweating bullets,” “the cherry on top,” “food for thought,” and “to keep something at bay,” all explained as we go.

So grab an iced tea (sweet, of course) and join me for a fun and language-packed adventure through the Palmetto State. 🐊🦈🍍
