The Reichstag is the seat of the federal parliament of Germany. It is an handsome building with an interesting history. To learn about the building's history, you can get tickets to walk around the dome on the building's roof. An elevator takes you to the dome, and on the main floor of the dome is a "mini museum" with lots of captioned pictures that tell the story of the building's past. After getting educated about the building, you can walk up the circular ramp to the dome's top. From there you can take in great views of the city.

The entire dome experience takes about an hour. Visitors must buy tickets in advance and go through security before entering the building.

My wife and I visited the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina in December 2022 for the play "A Christmas Story - The Musical." The play was funny and heartwarming and all the actors did a wonderful job both acting and singing. It was our first visit to the venue and we sat in the back row center of the theater. The seats were comfortable and our view of the stage was very good. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly and the sound and lighting in the theater were both excellent. This is a rather intimate theater so there really are no bad seats, but we were glad that we chose the seats toward the middle. Bathrooms are a little cramped and can be crowded during intermission. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again.
