Fort Monroe

And then i'm there. At first glance i see the fort wall made from a stone and morter to old to identify and the row apon row of houses inside the fort. I can smell the gun powder from the cannon fire that they have been shooting off all night now. As I walk i start to become oblivious to the smell of the B.O. or the popcorn and rockcandy i'm eating but i do start to notice the fireworks way off in the background just behind the fort walls.I climb up the rusted metal stairs to the top of the wall and i'm hit by the cool breeze that comes from the sea as i notice the boat on the water thats shooting off the fireworks.I try to use a napkin to get the butter and sugar off of me fingers but i am still in aww by the fireworks. I love Fort Monroe on the Fourth of July.
