    Great photos. I love visiting places like that! We've been to many Civil War battlefields, but never to that fort.

    Looks like the boys enjoyed exploring Fort Monroe Tanya.. There's nothing like actually visiting history to make it more interesting to learn about history :)

    Great stone walls and safety fencing. Your boys seem to be enjoying this fort. Do you by any chance "home-school" because if you do they are getting a great education by visiting all these places.
