"did you ever go to Fort Monroe"

Sure has some history to it. Robert E Lee lived there for a while when he was a young engineer. And Jefferson Davis was imprisoned there for a while after the war. It sure is nice to just stroll through...

Funny Fort Monroe story: Pre-911 my family attended the OP Sail 2000, tall ships as they paraded past the fort on their way to various harbors in Hampton Roads.

My Aunt and mom/dad had tickets at the review stand in front of the fort. Bro,kids and I had parking tickets for a beach 2+ miles up the island, couldn’t see a thing so we decided to leave.

On the way out we were going against the grain of all the incoming traffic and MP’s at each intersection kept waving us towards the fort. We couldn’t figure out why they were sending us to the VP section. When we got to the fort the only parking was in the motor pool lot, which was full of cars identical to ours, white, 2000 Dodge Intrepids.

We parked, walked through the fort and found the family and great seats for the ships passing 100 yards away.
