i have a husband and two sons who love visiting old forts when we travel, especially when we are along the coast...i used to reluctantly tag along, but then i noticed how beautiful they are, mainly because of their tabby (or cocina) walls...they have so much texture! plus, i do love many of the interiors as they were so utilitarian and simple...there is no fluff to them, just the essentials...

recently, we were in savannah and spent the day out at tybee island on the beach...we stopped off at fort pulaski on the way and explored...
