April 24th after Gregg and Rosalie got off shift we headed south to Shore Acres State Park, south of Charleston. It is mostly a garden.

Shore Acres will really look spectacular in a few weeks.
Leaving Shore Acres we stopped a mile north to take photos of the Cape Arago Lighthouse in the distance, which is barely visible here:
A telephoto shot showing the lighthouse.
Gregg is hoping the weather cooperates and we can fly by this lighthouse for photos in a couple days.
We stopped for dinner and then visited MJ at her house, who Gregg and Rosalie report to at the lighthouse. It was a wonderful evening.
