Robin, Last summer [2001]Tom and I and our friend Carol took the boat over from Fort Mott to Pea Patch Island to Fort Delaware.We spent a delightful day,even though it was super hot and humid ,touring the fort. The reinactors there ,if they have their hats on ,are "on duty".this means if you ask them a question,they will only answer it as if they are in the 1800's.For instance,ask them if they ever saw a car,and they would stare at you blankly.Ask them if they know who Abraham Lincoln is ,and they might reply "My Commander-in-chief",or the "chief enemy of the Confederate States"! Our family loves going to Fort Mott.One does not need a vivid imagination to almost hear the history that took place there and at Fort Delaware.History buffs,children ,and naturalists alike equally enjoy a trip there.I would highly recommend that anyone coming to South Jersey or Delaware plan a side trip to the two forts opposite each other on the Delaware River.You won't be sorry you did. Tonight my husband and I are home nursing wicked colds.We were supposed to be dining in Penns Grove with Jack Allen and his wife.We are sorry we are missing it,but hope to reschedule soon.
