Today we went to Cabrits National Park and Fort Shirley. We can see the bright red roof of the Fort from our apartment and we finally got to explore it as a family. Here we are in the museum learning a little Dominican history.
We took a 30 minute hike up to the battery. We were a little disappointed to find that this was the only cannon up at the top of this hike. As you can see Miriam wasn't impressed either since she fell asleep on the way up.
Miriam got to catch a ride on Dad's shoulders. She loved chewing on her hat strap like a bridle.
Along the way, Dr. Fife gave us a brief science lesson on hermit crabs.
Look closely and you will see the crab pinching Morgan. There were lots of these hermit crabs on the trail.
After the hike, I took a rest while Luke loved climbing on the cannons.
Fire!
Beautiful scenes of the Dominican coast.
The barracks at Fort Shirley. This is the building that we can see from our apartment.
Morgan and Luke trying out the old water pump.
Our family safeguarded by cannons.
Our kids loved seeing everything at the Fort. As you can see they didn't want to miss anything and couldn't stop looking around even for the picture!

The scenery is so cool! We miss you guys! Way to go exploring with two kids. We still have a lot of Seattle we want to see! I had three pet hermit crabs when I was in high school...
