Hi Girls. Mom and I made it to South Carolina on Monday night. Mom's been in class for the last two days and seems to be enjoying it. I've been working a little each day and then spending time with my camera. The weather has been great. No snow, not even a cloud in the sky. The picture below is the side of the state building.
This is actually the back side of the state building. The only difference I can see is that the front has a life size bronze statue of George Washington. They offer tours and I've been told they're really worth the time. I'm thinking about going tomorrow.
I went to Saluda Shoals Park. It's a short walk but there was plenty to see. I managed to catch this Pileated Woodpecker and it was really tearing into this tree.
There were a lot of squirrels out there too. Looked like lunch to this big guy.
This is the bridge that goes into downtown Columbia. They have a river walk that's about 7' wide made of concrete. It's well lighted at night so Mom and I took a walk after class.
Here's the birthday girl!!
I hope she gets her wish.
Jan and I spent most of the day with Bethany, Matt, and Dream. We enjoyed a great lunch at Red Robin and then headed back for cake. I'm just really glad neither of them caught the cold I had. Dream enjoyed the ribbon from the birthday presents.
Here are a couple more from an evening walk at Bauman Park.
