When we got to the Fort Moultrie visitor center, we parked an ended up walking along one of the docks on the water. The wind was brutally cold coming off the water.
We then made our way to go pay to go inside the Fort, and went to the entrance. We did stop by Oceola's memorial.

I didn't take any pictures inside the fort, I took a video at the beginning. Cayce did take some pictures inside.
The video down below is one I took. We go into a few of the rooms inside and some rooms, I don't know what they were because they didn't have signs indicating.
We eventually made it down to the beach, where the wind wasn't as bad as the river.
they loved walking along the beach
Everytime we go to a beach, we have to take pics together
We then walked around to where all the canons sit and took some funny pictures.
To end our trip to Fort Moultrie, we took more pictures all together.
After we left the Fort, we wanted to go eat. Well, every restaurant was packed because it was lunch time, so we decided to head to the beach. We went to station 23 which is one of the many ways to get to the beach from the road. Well, this station was flooded out and we walked through it. To make a long and angry story short, Cayce lost his keys in one of the flooded puddles and we were now stuck.
We were 2 hours away from our home and spare keys. The doors of the car were locked, and everything inside the car. We had to get our good friend to go to our house and get inside to get our spare car key and drive two hours to come save us. I was so angry and my skin was also getting angry with me because for the rest of the week, I was battling major sunburn.
While Budd was on his rescue mission, we got into the car very loudly and got the alarm off. We then decided to make the most of our time and go back to the beach via station 22 1/2 which was a board walk. I was super pissed about that. We played in the little pond in front of the ocean and then we went into the ocean and it was freezing. By the time we were freezing our toes off, Budd had rescued us and was searching for the car.
We got the key and had to pick up everything that we had all over the ground and put things back and then we left for home. We did finally stop by to get something to eat in Goose Creek. We stopped by Wendy's and I swear it was the best tasting food. Chicken nuggets, sweet tea, small frosty and delicious salty fries. The girls practically inhaled their cheeseburgers and knocked out on the way home.
The rest of spring break was dreadful. I had to send Sammy and Airy to my moms to spend the night on Tuesday and Addy stayed home with me which turned into a clean fest because she decided to get into her diaper bag and play with diaper rash ointment. The rest of the week was spent in agony because the sunburn was awful. We lathered up the after sun lotion and aloe vera. We didn't get what we wanted or needed to do because we were being tortured by our skin. I blame the sunburn on Cayce because we had everything in the car and he lost the keys.
I wonder if the keys have been found yet????
