We went camping at Fort Fisher with the Johnson's for the 4th and it was great. We came home with sunburns and mosquito bites but had a great time. The beaches here are so small compared to the ones at home. The first day we had to move back until we were at the grass line just to stay out of the water. I guess they dredge the sand every couple of years and they haven't done it in awhile so the beaches are all super narrow
This is a picture of Chloe. I realize I have lots of pictures of her but she is so cute and check out her sweet sunglasses.
And here is a picture of Chloe and I. She wasn't very happy because we were standing in the water and she HATES the water. I was with Mike so I don't feel that I was being mean by standing there.
We went to Fort Fisher which was used in the Civil War. Only a part of it remains because man and weather (hurricanes) have ruined most of it. The confederate army built these mounds to protect themselves. Fort Fisher is located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River so they were trying to protect it. Anyways we know the rest of the story. These mounds are probably the highest point on the island.
Here is a cannon that they have out there. I think its purpose is for people to sit on it and take pics so thats what we did.
Here is a view from one of the mounds we were able to go up at Fort Fisher.
