Wormsloe

 

On the way home from Charleston Susan and I stopped at the Wormsloe State Historic Site outside Savannah. Wormsloe was the colonial estate of Noble Jones, a carpenter who arrived in Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the first group of settlers from England.

We spent about an hour going through the museum, and then another walking around the grounds.It was pretty interesting.

Earlier this month Jenn was promoted to a relief coordinator at the Emporium. Yesterday she and the other coordinators spent a day at Disney Springs and played a round of mini-golf at Winter Summerland.

Harmonious & Fort Sumter

I didn't get into the parks in late October or early November. Disney reopened the Sassagoula boats at Disney Springs, and a lot of cast members from the Friendship Boats were reassigned there, meaning those left behind worked a lot of hours. Last week, however, Susan and I were able to attend a special showing of Harmonious for Epcot cast members. We got to view the fireworks from a front and center spot, and even got some free snacks.

 

Susan and I made another quick trip to Charleston this week. While we were there, I took the ferry from downtown out to Fort Sumter to look around. Fort Sumter is where the Civil War started in 1861, with South Carolina troops taking the fort from Union soldiers.  

It takes a couple of hours to ferry back and forth across the harbor and walk around the fort, but it's definitely worth it for someone interested in history. While I went to Fort Sumter, Susan took two of our friends kids to the aquarium next door to the visitor center.
