With a husband in the Navy, we have lived around the edges, and traveled across the middle to get to the other edge. So we've lived in Mass., RI, PA, MD, VA, FL, Louisiana and California.

And I count driving through as having been there. Especially a state like Kansas or Oklahoma or TX which take a whole day. Of course we now have a daughter in TX so we've been there to visit her.

I saw and took pictures of some lighthouses in the days before digital when I wasn't specifically interested in lighthouses. I've got

Point Pinos in Pacific Grove (California)in 1965


And Plum Beach taken from the bridge (RI) c 1972



And this is my Dad's picture of Gay Head, Mass from back in the 40s.
