While Lily and I were in Charleston, we spent a lovely afternoon together exploring downtown. The last time I spent any significant amount of time in downtown Charleston was in 2002, when Jake and I spent a weekend there to celebrate our 2-year dating 'anniversary,' and it was exciting to be back. Lily and I strolled along the battery and splashed in the fountains and looked at all of the pretty antebellum houses, and it was a great experience for both of us, because a part of me definitely fell back in love with the South that day. So often it's only the ugly parts of the South that are highlighted in the media, and you forget that there are places that are so charmingly and timelessly beautiful.
