Hunter had a field trip at the State House. His class had a guided tour of the State House that lasted over an hour. Because of increased security measurements, only 4 parents could go with the students on the tour. So I was not able to go inside with the class. After the tour, the class ate lunch on the State House grounds and did a scavenger hunt on the grounds.

Hunter stayed with me after the field trip. We went inside the State House together and he gave me a guided tour. This picture is the dome from inside.
This is the House Chamber. There are 124 members of the House of representatives in SC. The SC Senate has 46 members.
Downtown was very busy. They had Sumter Street blocked off for a film crew. They are filming the movie Nailed at the State House. So of course we stayed and watched them film.(click on the work Nailed to read more about the movie.)
James Marsden and Jessica Biel star in the movie. The rumor was that Justin Timberland was in Columbia also since he is dating Jessica Biel.
I think the actor in yellow is Malinda Williams and the man in blue is David Ramsey. You can click on the picture to make in larger.
After the class left, Hunter and I planted a letterbox near the State House. Hunter is great at thinking up clues.
Finlay Park
We walked around Columbia after we left the State House. I showed Hunter the Horseshoe at USC. We also went to Finlay Park. Hunter enjoyed walking around the water fountain. I told him that Chris and I went on dates to Finlay Park. This amazed Hunter.
