a little bit history [url=http://www.celinebagsluggage.info/]celine handbags[/url], a little bit relaxation
                               
during the heat of the civil war in 1862, union commander gen. ambrose e. burnside's forces swept across north carolina with little resistance. the final bastion of confederate strength resided with fort macon [url=http://www.mulberrysalesshops.info/]mulberry bags sale[/url], a brick and stone vault erected on the bogue banks, housing 400 soldiers who refused to surrender. fort macon did not fall until union forces bombarded it with heavy siege guns for 11 hours from offshore gunboats.
today, this history can be vividly imagined as you walk beside fort macon's restored walls [url=http://www.coastdressshop.info/]coast dress[/url], still standing proudly along the atlantic beach coast. the setting has changed some, as the gunboat artillery blasts have been replaced by children laughing and families picnicking on the pristine surf. today, fort macon state park is the most popular tourist destinations in north carolina, bringing in near to 1.3 million visitors per year. the area possesses a multitude of activities for families and couples, from relaxing on the beach, exploring the history, to taking in the undisturbed natural beauty of atlantic beach. fort macon park offers visitors both sound side and surf fishing, nature trails, ranger guided tours, a protected swim area, and a refreshment stand- all with no fees.
i recently had a chance to experience fort macon while visiting the beautiful seaside town of atlantic beach, one of the smaller, quainter, communities located along the crystal coast. my wife and i had a wonderful weekend there, spending our first day exploring the fort and our second relaxing on the beach. we live in greensboro and decided that the current economic times called for a more affordable vacation this year- somewhere within driving distance. we stayed at the peppertree atlantic beach [url=http://www.coastsalesuk.info/]coast sales[/url], a beautiful surf side oasis with all the best amenities, which we found through a great discount vacation website called vacation-offer.com. to receive the discount we were required to go on a a timeshare tour of peppertree, which was harmless and quite informative on the benefits of vacation ownership. other than the discount lodging , which cost $99 for 2 nights, all we spent was about $50 on gas and $25 at a fantastic seafood restaurant near the resort  (a grand total of $175 total for the getaway).
in the past we've gone on vacation to some pretty exotic places (at some pretty exotic prices).  all in all, i think mixing a bit of history with relaxation is a great way to escape the everyday grind.  it's somewhat comforting to explore places that have such history [url=http://www.discountslouisvuittons.info/]louis vuitton belt[/url], places that have stood for so long against the forces of man and nature.
