We just celebrated our 19th anniversary. My wife gave me my first lighthouse and has willlingly joined in, and planned, many lighthouse trips where she gives directions on where to go (the directions to lighthouses), and how to shoot interesting pictures. Together we have visited over a 100 lighthouses together since 1995 (when we started collecting HLs). She has even brought back some pictures of lighthouses she visited when I was not there and seems to enjoy this quest to "see them all" as much as I. A good example of this addiction, is that for our anniversary this year we visited the remaining 17 lighthouses of Washington that we had not seen.

If lighthouses bring as much happiness to others as is has to us, I will advocate that all people get a HL lighthouse on their wedding day, along with a subscription to Lighthouse Digest. There is something magical about this addiction that makes our relationship special.
