Fort Sumter

One day we took a two hour drive to visit Charleston and Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter is where the first battle of the Civil War started. We took a boat over to the small man made island.

A picture of the Fort....apparently it was never fully finished but has a brick wall around most of it.

Another cannon shot inside the Fort that was used to fire through a window in the brick wall

Another cannon shot. I'm suprised this picture turned out cute because I could hear in the background some lady yelling at us to get off the cannons! Oh well...I didn't see any signs...and at least I got a good picture!

Zac really loved visiting Fort Sumter...he could tell you more history and facts. I'm really horrible at paying attention and remembering things...plus I had to keep Rachel quite while the Park Ranger was explaining the history so I didn't get to hear too much!
