Things to Do Around Columbia SC
I wanted to re-blog this piece for two reasons. I have some outstanding memories in this part of the world as a young soldier and two, it is a great public service to post this type of blog. If I were to travel here again, this would really assist me in my trip plan. Therefore I intend to do a few of these a year for my neck of the woods and hope that others will follow suit.
Hint, I am planning on Orlando, Monterey, CA and TN next year....so if you are in that area, tell me where to find the best local food and great things to show the kids.
