First on the list is lunch. It was warm enough on this day to sit outside and have our lunch. Wonderful!
I love the sign on the little box! The beach is wide and very nice. The water was too cold for me to even venture down to it. There was quite a little breeze blowing. A long sleeve shirt felt really good.
We wanted to go see the light house, but it was Tuesday! So all we have are some pictures.
Looks like it would have been a nice place to visit!
We drove back towards Savannah and made a stop at historic Fort Pulaski. This is the first view of the fort. You do have to cross the moat to get in. The triangle area is full of tunnels and gun emplacements for men to shoot anyone trying to cross the moat.
The entrance to the fort has another drawbridge across the moat. You can see the flay is almost straight out. It was windy outside the fort. Inside the fort the walls protected us from the wind.
Through the gateway you can see the big cannon and the back side of the fort. 
This is the parade grounds inside of the fort. It is really a big area.
Just one of the many plaques around the fort that tell about someone or explain what happened here during the Civil War.
This is only one of the big guns around the fort that show us how the fort was fortified.
I loved this sign. I'm sure that it is a copy on one that was put up after the bombardment of the fort.
Frank is standing by one area that shows where a gun used to be and how the wall was damaged.
This shows how far away the different cities were from the fort.
On the southeast side of the fort--this is the outside-- you can see where the cannonballs hit the fort. The big guns were no match for the brick and mortar type of walls
The cannonballs are still in some of the walls. This is hard to believe after all these year. We had a wonderful day and the weather cooperated with sunshine all day.
