Visit Family for Christmas

December 17, 2023 I arrived at my dad's house in Chesapeake, Virginia. December 19, 2023 My dad and I visited ODU, where we watched a show about what could have been the Star of Bethlehem at ODU's planeterium. December 22, 2023 My dad and I visited the Cape Henry Lighthouse.  The lighthouse was on a military base.  We were allowed to tour the Cape Henry Lighthouse but we weren't allowed to tour the new one because it was an active lighthouse.  This is a picture of the gift shop at the lighthouse.
