We had a relaxing weekend down on the coast visiting my parents. The kids got to go on their first visit to Fort Macon. Both my husband and I can remember visiting the fort when we were kids. Some things had changed.....But the memories still came flooding back. Running around the rooms that were not blocked off...walking around the "moated" area....seeing the set of steps that was "nicked" by a wayward cannonball. It was so much fun watching my
kid's first experience with it. They weren't getting much in the way of historical learning...not much of that sinks into a 4 year old and 2 year old (much less an 8 week olds) mind. But they were making memories that they will be able to relate to their kids some day! And with any hope...Be able to share on their children's first trip to Fort Macon.
