The A Team's Happenings: Fort Sumter

Fort Sumter

On a splendidly HOT day in July we decided to take Alyssa on her first historical tour, one of Fort Sumter. Here Drew is showing Alyssa how to fire a gun/cannon of some sort, perhaps I should have read the historical marker : )

Alyssa watching our tour boat, the General Beauregard, pull into port.

Fort Sumter, on a hot July day.

A nice shot of our girl resting in one of the cannon openings.

A quick video, showing sweet girl's personality. You'll see why I like it, a rare glimpse at me holding my "baby" captured on film. Even though the war of Northern Aggression technically started on James Island (Fort Johnson), we had a very nice tour of Fort Sumter that I think Alyssa will remember. I will certainly remember the weather, did I mention it was HOT?!?!?!?
