Old Fort Jackson

I don't know what it is, but I've always loved visiting Forts! Really. I could plan my vacations around Forts...just visiting Forts. I even like the word. Fort. Why didn't I name my son Fort? Dang!

Anyway,what may seem to others, like a boring afternoon spent looking at an old brick structure and cannons and casements... ..is for me...Heaven!

I recently(with my sweet, patient hubby) visited Old Fort Jackson in Savannah. I can't believe that on all of my visits to Savannah over the years...that I missed Fort Jackson!


This is the view of the fort across (what once was) rice fields. 



It's located on the beautiful Savannah River.  *a perfect spot to watch for an enemy attack*


Walking in..I can't help but think of all that's happened within these walls!





A view from the ramparts.  The reenactment is about to begin! *nerd alert*


I love touring the casements...it feels kinda spooky.


 Do you think this cannon was loud?

I had such a wonderful time at Old Fort Jackson! I can't wait to take the children back...

I hope at least one of my children will inherit my love of forts!


I'm joining Susan for Outdoor Wednesday!
