Kevin has the week off between Christmas and New Years so we decided at the last minute that we were going to take a trip to Amelia Island here in Florida. First we went to the little shops and got some ice cream...
Then we went to explore a Civil War era fort- Fort Clinch. The kids loved seeing all of the equipment that was used. I can only imagine how cold the winter nights would have been like and how hot it would have been in the summers. Their living quarters made me feel grateful for what we have today. Avery and Boston's favorite part was being able to pick out a piece of candy at the general store.
While Boston took a nap in the car Avery went to a Kingsley Plantation where she learned how they used to pick and spin cotton. She was obsessed with spinning cotton with her hands for hours. I'm amazed at how fascinated my kids are with the simplest things. I love it.
