Lynn and I enjoy visiting local museums almost as much as we enjoy visiting local eateries. We were in Southport for a long weekend recently for our son's wedding and even though our time frame was narrow we managed to take our Grandchildren Jackson and Sloane to the
North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport. I am a native North Carolinian and the history of my state and the South is very much a part of my DNA. So, I felt much enjoyment in Sloane and Jackson exploring the museum's broad array of memorabilia, artifacts and pirate lore.
