to begin with, we had a wonderful day with old friends. A great lunch, fun filled hot day at the pool, and venture that she and I remember for a lifetime. It turns out, the prior to hurricane Sandy,, My friends actually moved on Sandy Hook.
One of the most amazing sites was the commander's house. The building truly must have been one magnificent abode in its heyday. With a wraparound porch and amazing windows and banister work it's hard to imagine that the building has become so rundown and in such a state of disrepair. Another very exciting building to see was the armory, which stretched what seemed like at least a mile. In addition to the armory, the battery was a fortress that should never have been reckoned with. Although it was closed off to the public today, I was told that on certain weekends throughout the year, one can take a tour inside the battery and that this is essentially the coolest building in Fort Hancock. Needless to say since only little girl and I attended this adventure, we shall returned with the big guy in hopes that we will be able to gain access to some of the buildings for touring.
