June 9
First Ashley woke me up and gave me a BIG HUG and then I told her to help me wake dad up because it's his birthday so we gave him a BIG HUG. Then we got dressed and left for this restaurant called Toast it was yummy.
After that we had a long walk all the way to a ferry (boat) and we took the boat to Fort Sumter. FT Sumter is where the Civil War began (Dan Dan Dan).
Fort Sumter was 5 stories high 50ft. but during the war they knocked down 4 stories during the bombardment ( Dan Dan Dan )
Next, we went to rent this bike thingie where we all sat and the guy peddled like crazy to get us to the town and it was a blast.
After that we went back to the slave market and then to the carriage with horses and in the middle of the tour a wheel fell off right under me, it was loud and scraped the road all the way to the end. (ha ha ha) . During the tour we learnt about how people had a fire department emblem, which showed different fire departments whose insurance they carried. When their house gets caught on fire their house will be put out only by the fire dept. who they hold the insurance with. So the people could only hope that the fire dept that arrived first were the one's they had the insurance policy with. The people that didn't have an emblem got their house burnt down.
After that we went back to the slave market and Ashley got MORE STUFF
Then we went back to the hotel and showered, got dressed and went out for dads BIRTHDAY and at the end I asked the waiter to do some thing special. He brought in a dessert with a candle. Then we went to sleep .
