Fort Sumter Field Trip

 During our travel to Charleston back in April, we did a history field trip with the girls to Fort Sumter. Brent had been here when he was growing up, but it was the first time the girls and I had ever been to Fort Sumter.

 It was a very windy and beautiful day for a ferry ride!

When we arrived at the fort, we had about an hour to explore before we had to head back to the boat for the return trip.

 The fort and museum both were very interesting to see. One of the neatest things I think we saw was the flag that actually flew on Fort Sumter back in the 1800s.

We spent most of our time while we were at the fort learning with the girls, who quickly filled out all their learning activities and earned another Junior Ranger badge to add to their collection. Here they are with Ranger Lauren, who gave them their Junior Ranger pins.

We made it back to the ferry in time and headed back to the mainland. We all enjoyed our ferry trip and learning a little more about the history that surrounds Fort Sumter.
