Fort Story, VA

Since we had to stick close to home for Memorial Day weekend and the weather was perfect, we decided to watch the sunset on Chesapeake Bay with a wine picnic on the beach, which is one of the few places on the East Coast you can watch the sun set in the water. Also at Fort Story are the Cape Henry Lighthouses. The new Cape Henry Lighthouse is still functional. The Old Cape Henry Lighthouse is the first structure paid for and commissioned by the new United States Government in 1792.
