Family Trip to Historic Fort Sumter

Day trip to Charleston means a trip to Fort Sumter. And a crash course for us grown ups while #redeemingmyeducation and so much that we don’t know still. I think the highlight for the kids was the ferry and dolphins sightings... But the #juniorranger worksheet helped them to focus a little, and K did declare getting her badge was her favorite thing today. We were the only kids at the whole site! It’s so small and unimpressive in size, but the Fort is yet still impressive... there were quite a few #classicalconversations songs sung as we walked around the museum reading about Abraham Lincoln, the Missouri Compromise, slavery, maps of slavery statistics, slaves as only 3/5 of a person, cotton, rice... I need to look more stuff up... add it to the ever growing list. And they might have been most interested at the Fort about watching the guy in the water windsurf ;) and cannons!
