It all started for me in May, 1990. We took a trip to The Outer Banks. I was more interested at the time in seeing Kitty Hawk and The Wright Brothers Museum. That changed quickly when we drove down the coast. My first lighthouse ever was Bodie Island and I was hooked. Having not been to the ocean many times before 1990, I knew nothing about lighthouses. That was about to change! We have now seen every light from Cape Henry to Cape Florida. Most by car and many by plane! I don't know how many we have seen over the years, but I was like a kid in the candy store the few days before the Providence reunion when we took a tour of Maine! We didn't get to see them all, hopefully we will get back there soon and be able to spend a few weeks instead of a few days!
