Fort Sumter

Took a ferry out to Fort Sumter. It was really amazing to see this place and to think about how FAR they shot these cannons. Amazing! The fort is nothing like what it used to be. Originally had 3 stories to it's walls with cannons on 2 levels, there used to be officer quarters and, well LOTS of stuff. Obviously it's been through a war and a few hundred years. Now there is just the first level left and lots of rubble. But it was really neat.







I loved all this old brick. Do you like our little photo shoot we took????? We were in the back portion of the fort by ourselves for quite sometime. The rest of the boat was on a tour with the guide, but being the rebels that we are, we explored the place on our own. Which, I'm glad we did cause we saw more of the fort than the tour got to cause they talked to much apparently!

I am sick of my stupid computer virus. I just typed a nice comment and it ate it!
Anyway, basically what I said was loved the photo shoot. Everything (doors included) looks so pretty. Neat that you got to see some historic stuff. I Love staying in bed and breakfasts (nice ones anyway.) Glad you posted some pics from your trip! :)

Love all the cool pics...the doors are cool, especially the Federal style ones with the fanlight windows. Fort Sumter looks like it could shoot out some serious cannonballs- Hopefully they had earplugs back then. I would love to do a photo shoot with some old brick or stone for the backdrop, good luck with that in Vegas huh.
