Trip to Fort Matanzas

 In this post I'll be talking about my trip I took to Fort Matanzas.


This was about 8 or 9 years ago in October. ( I don't remember the exact date.)


I went with my dad and my sister and there was about like 3 other groups there. 2 were families and the other one was a group of school kids.


It took I think 45 minutes to get there and we were there for about an hour or 2 and took some photos and admired the area around the fort. 


Here are a couple photos from the visit back then. 


Since it was so long ago, I don't really remember it but I think I enjoyed it for the short time I was there for. It was very pretty that day so we had a great view on the entire area around us.


This also relates back to the being one of the Spanish's forts left in Florida which I had also made a previous post about.
