In my mind, I'm goin' to Carolina

Cas and I are waking up on the first day of 2016 in Columbia, South Carolina. Actually, I already woke up, grabbed a plate of food from the continental breakfast, ate an egg sandwich and got back into my pajamas. He appears to still be sleeping. No matter.

We arrived Wednesday and picked up our rental car. We drove into downtown trying to find a Starbucks, but instead, we found a parking headache and a funny gas station. 

We carried on to Jeff's house and hung out with him for a while. It turns out that kitty decided to leave town and visit a friend while we would be around. Fine by me. I was just coming because Jeff had to stay in South Carolina for Christmas, and I missed my brother. 

Cas and I have one more full day and a partial day in town before we head back to the reality of teaching school. I'm not overly excited about launching into the second semester, but I think I'll be happy when it starts. This certainly has been a great couple of work-free weeks.
