Trip to SC for my birthday

Last week we escaped the cold of winter in Boston to spend a few days in the relative warmth of South Carolina. As on previous occasions, we stayed at Myrtle Beach, but this time we made a trip to Charelston. I've wanted to go there for a long time and I'm glad to say that it was just as grand and pretty as people say :-)

Penny, my new winter car

This is my new winter car, a 2009 Subaru Impreza. We call her 'Penny' on account of being copper-colored. Like most Boston-based cars in the winter, she is covered in salt, which is the real reason I don't drive Emily here in the winter. Penny is an absolute base-model, with no options (after all, she's just supposed to get me through the 5 months I don't want to drive my real car), but her main asset is the all wheel drive, which gets me safely to and from the ski areas of NH, every weekend.
