Columbia Field Trip

I was so thankful to get picked as a chaperone for Bonner's trip to Columbia.  Ian's class went on the same day so that was good.  We left at 7:15 a.m. and took a charter bus to Columbia - starting at the State House.  It was a great tour and brought back memories of my going there many moons ago!

We toured the monuments outside the State House and I just loved this picture of the State House with the Palmetto tree in the front.  The stars on the State House indicate where the original state house was hit by cannons during the Civil War.  Of course, the girls loved being together to tour and learn.

After stopping at the State House, we headed over to the SC History Museum which was really interesting!  We ate lunch first and then went exploring throughout the museum!

Look who we finally ran into?
