Tonight's the last Night to see the Washington Monument Lit Up with the Scaffolding

I went last night.. As you can see, there was some dark clouds, so I didn't get the blue sky I would have liked... But at least I saw and photographed it before they shut the lights out and begin the scaffolding removal.

VA Beach & Norfolk Trip!

Spent a few days last week in VA Beach and Norfolk.   Most of the time was chilling near the beach, but also got a few "tourist spots" in including the dual Cape Henry Lighthouse on the military base of Fort Henry, Douglas MacArthur Memorial Museum in downtown Norfolk, and baseball game of the AAA Norfolk Tides.
