The Lighthouse Quest

We now have a blog for our lighthouse adventures! I have a backlog of lighthouses to write about, so this will keep me busy :-)

Lighthouses and Newport, RI

We’ve now seen eight lighthouses this year. Our goal is to visit 10 a year, so we have a little over 2 months to see two more.
