Annapolis by Candlelight

We paid money, both for the tickets, and for the babysitter, to go on a cultural event (and therefore terribly high brow and worthy). It wasn't what we expected but it was enjoyable. I felt that people concentrated a bit too much on the furnishings, instead of the architecture, but I enjoyed seeing inside some of the houses in Annapolis.
Annapolis by Candlelight is an historical society organising for a group of about 9 houses, generally in one area of town, to open to the public. You get a brochure, and a map, and a torch, and take a self-guided tour to look at the houses, hear blurbs about their history from docents (volunteers) standing in each room, and learn a bit about what you walk by every day. All of the houses were historical/old, and quite interesting to see.
They had little paper bags weighted with sand with candles in them lighting the fronts of all the houses, which made it feel really special. I assume the paper bags are special candle ok paperbags -  I'm not sure I'd try it at home.
