{All In a Day} SC State House Steps + President Woodrow Wilson's Boyhood Home

With all of our cross country treks visiting presidential sites and running up and down state capitol steps, can you believe that we had yet to visit a couple of spots right here in our own home state???

Hubby had some army work to do in Columbia today, and we tagged along for the ride...

  

Sure, we've driven past the South Carolina State House numerous times...

but we've never actually explored the grounds...

nor conquered the state house steps, until today...

It was cold...

and George is still quite upset about what Sherman's troops did to his cane...

As we were walking back to the car, M asked what that was peeking above the trees and exclaimed, "Is that Cinderella's castle?" 

Clearly, it's time for a trip back to Walt Disney World, or maybe a first trip to Disneyland???

After a yummy pizza lunch at Village Idiot...

we took a tour of South Carolina's only presidential site (besides the possible, but probable, birthsite of President Andrew Jackson), the Woodrow Wilson Family Home...

Now, we have stopped and tried to visit before...

{July 2013}

but the home just reopened last year after undergoing extensive restoration...

The only home that the Wilson family owned, they built this house from the ground up, but only lived here a few years before relocating to Wilmington, NC...

After a fun dinner on the way home, at one of our favorite dives, the Beacon Drive-In...

we concluded our daylong adventure to our state's capital city!
