South Carolina Trip Part 1: Columbia

I had the opportunity to perform for an outdoor market in Charleston, SC, and I decided I would do some sight seeing as well! The first night I stopped in the state capital, Columbia.

On Christmas Day we make the annual trek to the Jefferson Hotel to see the beautiful atmosphere! The beautiful Gingerbread House and Nativity The Grand staircase which always was believed to be the inspiration for the one in "Gone With The Wind". They determined this was probably untrue, however it still draws visitors. Old Telephones I still felt the Christmas spirit this year, although it did hit differently. Recently, I was having so...
