Fort Nisqually latest visit--ideas flying in my imagination!

My youngest munchkins and I had so much fun at Fort Nisqually yesterday afternoon! We were met by Education Curator, Michael McGuire (note the Scots name--this tale will have a significant Scots connection... because Hudson Bay Company and the PNW had a huge Scots connection, and because I'm writing it!). They've offered me their small research library for writing right there at the fort. What could be better? I absolutely love writing on location. Giles got to "shoot" a Northwest trade musket and wear a beaver skin top hat, and Gillian was enchanted with the Cheif Prefect's house built in 1855, the oldest building in Puget Sound, and right in the middle of the fort--and ten minutes from our home! Here are some pictures from this visit:
