On Monday, July 29th we took a break from the beach and headed to Ft. Macon State Park. There were some dark clouds in the area but we made it through without getting rained on. For my local Maryland friends, this place could be compared to Ft. McHenry in Baltimore. Definitely a place that my kids would love to go back to if we ever get to Atlantic Beach again.
One of the many very cool cannons around the park.
Great photo op....kids and Daddy take a break on a wall with water and ships behind them.
Another great cannon...every Wednesday they fire these in a demonstration...maybe next time we'll make it for that!
The walls in this place were amazingly high...the kids had a blast running in and out of the dark corridors and hidden rooms.
Another great picture to give you an idea of the height of the walls...and no, there aren't any fences or barriers to keep kids off those edges....they tell you that this place was built for war, not safety...very true!
Firing their pretend guns at me!
