CUMBERLAND ISLAND

today we took of to go to the cumberland national island seashore....i know that in order you have to take a ferry that is 7 miles  out in the ocean and had decided not to do that due to the weather...rainy not a day to ride a ferry for an hr...so we just did a couple of museums...oh we did get a badge thou...we talked to a ranger and she decided to give us the booklet and a badge anyway cause it was not a good day to go to the island bless her..

then there  was a museum a couple of blocks away...now that is a story...it dosen't open up till 1 pm so we waited for it to open up...a volunteer was in charge for the day so in we went and don't you know the alarm went off...the volunteer  had no idea how to turn it off (that wasn't part of the training)..finally arrived and heard the story and was asked to go to the national park office around the corner cause there was no way the volunteer could call them at that time...soo the charge person arrived and we got it turned off ..now we could go thru the  museum...interesting john kennedy was married and the island...in a very small church on it...he knew a friend who of course made arrangements for him...

we also found out that the final battle of the war of 1812 was fought on the island...

life is still great
