Fort Jackson! Our first experience in a fort, so we were still figuring out the details about the war and which sides were fighting. The building was SO cool to see, very old and detailed. They even blew off a real cannon for the boys to watch! They had a fun "soldier" help teach the boys how to load the cannon, fire rifles, and act like they were soldiers protecting the fort. The cannons were so large and heavy, I can't imagine having to lug those around and be in war. We then headed to the Cathedral downtown that I wanted to explore. The boys were reverent, had some good questions about the saints and candle vigils, holy water and statues of Christ. Afterwards we went outside so Shelley could feed Collin and Ruby could take some steps in the plaza with the Spanish Moss. A good day!
