April 8 - Fort Sumter, Folly Beach, Myrtle Beach

By Kristen

Today we got up really early so we could catch a boat to Fort Sumter. While we were waiting to leave, we saw tons of birds searching for food. We all thought it was so funny when the pelicans would dive into the water. We also spotted some dolphins (at least 6) looking for food.

Then we were on our way to Fort Sumter. This is where the beginning of the Civil War happened. We got to tour around to see cannons and cannon balls that were stuck in the walls of the fort. We then got back on the boat, got in our car and we were on our way to lunch.

Today we went to the Angel Oak tree on Johns Island. The live oak is 65 feet high. It is as old as 500 years old. Next we went to Folly Beach on James Island. The fishing pier was more than 1045 feet long. Folly Beach is often referred to as the "Edge of America". We also the Morris Island lighthouse, which is not used now. Next we went to Myrtle Beach. We only saw it at night. My family and I ate by the beach at a restaurant.
