the site of the first shots fired in the Civil War.
We were excited to finally get there as we had been attempting to make this trip many times and literally missed the boat the last time we were there. The tour boats only leave 3 times a day from two locations and we got there just as the last tour had left the last time we wanted to go. Needless to say, I did my research this time and we headed out to Charleston early in the day to catch the first tour at 9:30. No simple task with 4 teenagers to get up and moving but we did it!
Here is the whole family plus one (our son's girlfriend) at the fort.

Hi Barbara - Thanks for the comment. There were smiles all around for sure. It was a great trip.
Great pictures Paddy... In all the times that I have been to SC, I never got by to see Fort Sumpter.
Michael, it took us quite a few years to get out there but I am happy that we did finally do it. If you go back you should try to get out there. Have a great day.
