Last week we were able to visit Fort McAllister and attend their lantern tour (at night of course) to learn about civil war soldiers and their lives at night. It was very interesting and we had a blast! Plus, I ran into an old church friend and her kids and Russ Powell our other good friend from Hinesville. All in all it was a good evening!

At the end of the tour, they had warm apple cider and cookies available. The kids sat down around a fire and enjoyed. It was a wonderful evening! Thank you to all the great folks at Fort McAllister!!
