When we were riding in the car back from vacation, we were going on a bridge when we saw a lighthouse - in the water! It looked like it was 50 feet tall, and it was the newport news middle ground lighthouse.
It was really 70 feet, and the ''middle ground'' part does make sense because near it there is a L shaped shoal called ''middle ground shoal'' the race rock reef lighthouse in new york does the same thing, but it is near a reef that ''eats'' the ships.

Thanks, Eli! We enjoyed reading what you wrote about the Middle Ground Lighthouse. This is an unusual lighthouse--very interesting!

This kid is clearly a genius and will be wasting his time in kindergarten. Just keep him home. (He can still use the lunchbox and nap pillow.)
