To: Kathy in Alaska

I grew up near Cape Lookout. On the Labor Day after we married, my wife and I drove back to Norfolk from my parents (near Morehead City, NC) by way of the Outer Banks, visiting all of the lighthouses there. What a long drive.

We live in Norfolk, and Cape Henry is in Virginia Beach, and Old Point Comfort is on what used to be the army base at Fort Monroe in Hampton.

We visited Assateague when we went to the annual pony swim in Chincoteague, VA

I’ve also been to the top of Cape Hatteras (as a kid), Currituck Beach, and the old Cape Henry lighthouses.

There are two Cape Henry lighthouses, the old one bulit in 1792 and the “new” one built in 1881.
