Mom & Dads Trip to the NC

As most of you may know, Mom and Dad decided to take a vacation and come out here to the NC and we were very happy to have them. We had a good time while they were here. Here are a few pictures of some of the things we did. One day, we went to Southport. this is the local Mormon Church. (In case you can't see it, they are having a "butt" sale.)
We then took the ferry over to Fort Fisher.....(Fort Fisher is a Civil War fort that was the site of the largest land/sea battle of the War. The forts purpose was to protect the last sea port not taken by the Union.
Dad is in an underground bunker (at Fort Fisher) meant to protect the soldiers and gun powder (notice the cannon. It is facing the Cape Fear river near the opening to the Ocean)

On another day we went to Fort Anderson on the Cape Fear River (its job was basicly to support Fort Fisher). While we were there, a Christian school group was there to learn more about the times.

Next to Fort Anderson is Old Brunswick Town. The ruins of a small colonial town.

And yet on another day we went to Moores Creek Battlefield, the site of a very violent and bloody battle between colional partiots and english loyalists.

And on ANOTHER day, we went to the Battleship North Carolina. (no idea who the lady is)

Mom is in a bunk deep in the bowels of the ship.

Close to the final day we went to the beach to see the sun RISE over the ocean.

We want to again thank Mom and Dad for coming out to the NC to see us. It really was nice having them here.

But the way....for more pictures of their vacation look on my facebook page.
