Tommy Garvey, 5, and Anna Garvey, 8, both from Alexandria, Virginia, enjoyed, on their trip to Lewes, Delaware, visiting the beach and seeing the Lightship Overfalls. This lightship was the last light vessel made for the United States Lighthouse Services before it became part of the United States Coast Guard.
Chloe Chenault, 12, of Sterling, Virginia, visited the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse in Manteo, North Carolina, during a recent vacation in the Outer Banks. The lighthouse is a replica of the original, which was constructed in 1877 on the southern end of the Croatan Sound on Roanoke Island. The original lighthouse was crucial in helping sailors and fishermen travel safely through the waterways, but the replica is filled with historical exhibits and offers lovely views of the sound.
Danny Welton, 11, and Lizzie Welton, 7, of Herndon, Virginia, visited the Naples Pier in Naples, Florida. During their time on the Florida beaches, they made sand castles and road boogie boards. Their family took a boat tour of the Ten Thousand Islands in Everglades National Park, where they saw dolphins, manatees, bonnethead sharks, spotted eagle rays and pink spoonbill birds.
