Hi All,
Back in the Jacksonville area we spent another wonderful day with Scott, Tara and the boys. While we were gone, Wyatt had an accident while doing tricks on his Razor scooter. He got "impressive air" coming off the ramp but also got "impressive concrete" upon landing. He has a broken foot and wrist. Wyatt was bummed about not being able to play tennis but he can still fish. When we saw him a few days after the accident, he was far more mobile and up-beat than we expected.
We all went to see the movie Divergent then out to eat.
Monday evening we had a wonderful visit with Jim & Evalyn Campbell.
The next day we visited Fort Caroline National Monument in NE Jacksonville. We spoke to the Volunteer Coordinator and were offered a position next winter.
On Wednesday we continued north to Brunswick, GA and visited Fort Frederica, a British fort and town pivotal in the battle to keep the Spanish from coming north from Florida.
In the old town site, this two sided hearth was the site of two buildings that shared a common wall and chimney. The tavern was to the left and the doctor lived on the right.
The fort was built on a bend in the river with great views north and south.
This is the remains of the barracks that housed 100 soldiers.
Here we saw the remains of the moat that surrounded the fort and town.
We talked to one of the rangers about volunteering. This place is also a possibility but a bit further north i.e. colder.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
