| Cape Henry lighthouse |
We went to Fort Story to see the two Cape Henry lighthouses.
Fort Story became a military installation in 1914 when the Virginia General Assembly gave the land to the US Government "to erect fortifications and for other military purposes." The base was named for Gen. John Patton Story, a noted coast artilleryman of his day.
We had to go through security because we were entering the military base. We had to get out of the car, open the glove compartment, the hood, and the trunk, and the guards had a wand they waved over the car with.
We were given the okay to proceed, so we drove down to the ocean where the lighthouses were and took pictures.
I also took pictures of a statue of Francois Joseph Paul DeGrass, a Memorial cross, and several plaques.
There was a ramp leading up to the beach where there was a good view of the ocean.

Lieutenant GĂ©nĂ©ral des ArmĂ©es Navales François-Joseph Paul, marquis de Grasse Tilly, Comte de Grasse 13 September 1722 – 11 January 1788 was a French admiral. He is best known for his command of the French fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake, which led directly to the British surrender at Yorktown. De Grasse was decisively defeated the following year by Admiral Rodney at the Battle of the Saintes, where he was captured. He was widely criticized for this, and on his return to France, he demanded a court-martial, which acquitted him of fault.
Some of the places that I took pictures of at Virginia Beach were A 3 D. Funhouse, Nightmare Mansion, and John Waring Beach 4.
