As you may know from reading previous posts or from Facebook stalking me, I’ve been doing some events called “Random Acts of Awesome (with April).” One recent “Act of Awesome” we went on was a Moonlit Cemetery Tour hosted by the Historic Columbia Foundation. It was cool 1) because it involved hanging out at the graveyard at night and 2) we got to hear some good stories about some of the founding folks of Columbia. It wasn’t a ghost tour, like I think some of our group thought it might be, but I found it to be fun. I’m not a big ghost tour fan anyway. Check out the Historic Columbia Foundation Web site here: http://historiccolumbia.org/. I’ve posted a few pictures below.

There were several Confederate grave sites.

The more money you have, the more ornate your grave site can be.

Then some of us went to IHOP. I don’t know why I did that. I can make better food for less money at home. I’d write a food review here, but why bother. The previous statement I made pretty much sums it up.
Sarah eats her hashbrowns and wonder's why she's here.
