South Carolina

We were able to go to Columbia, South Carolina a couple of weeks ago. I know who goes there right? My work opened a manufacturing plant there and they needed someone to go and train the new people, so I got to go. YAY! I wasn't expecting to go and have such a BLAST!!! I love the people out there! The southern hospitality is amazing!! I love that they called me hun, sweetie, ma'am and darling. :) I have decided that one day, I want to move there!!! I love that the city of Charleston has so much history to it. We went and toured a house that George Washington stayed at while visiting the city. It was fun to think that I was standing in the same places that he had! We also were able to go to a Civil War reenactment that only happens once a year(again who goes to that right). I loved it!!! I'm such a nerd, but I started to tear up a little. I really felt like we were standing on Holy ground. We went and toured the main house (which the front was used in the Notebook) and the slave houses. Did you know that South Carolina was still buying and trading slaves until the 1970's!!! Bryce and I were shocked!! It was a really neat experience. Oh yeah, we also drove an hour to North Carolina, to eat dinner one night. Now we can say we've been there too. :) All in all we LOVE South Carolina
