We started at the light closest to home, again in retrospect this may have not been a good starting point, Sea Girt.
Sea Girt is another small town on The Jersey Shore. It was a very cute little town, with an interesting small light. Much more like a house with a light stuck on top, as opposed to the imposing structures most think of when hearing the word lighthouse. It did have a nice Forth Order Lens
. That's just sunlight being reflected around the room.
Next we drove on down to Barnegat. Barnegat is a tall lighthouse much like what you would anticipate.
As you can tell from this picture it was hard from up close to get a good shot of it, there's another in the slideshow that's from a little further away . This light is way out there, a good long ride from the Garden State Parkway out across the inlet then out to the light. The line to climb was fairly long, so in the interest of time we decided not to wait and walk all the way up. We did take a few pictures, including
Kellie with a bright blue tongue.
Next we went down to Tucker's Island Lighthouse. This is considered a replica lighthouse as the original fell into the sea in 1927. This had some of the better exhibits.
Including a Third Order Fresnel Lens. 
We then headed down to Atlantic City and the Absecon lighthouse. This is another tall lighthouse. This one we walked up and down, and got some interesting shots from the top.
After seeing the light we decided to drive around AC a bit and get some dinner while we were there. We determined something quick and known was good so we did Ruby Tuesdays. We wrapped up in AC and headed south again.
Next stop - Hereford
- this is one of only a few pictures from this light. We wanted to be sure to get to the next stop before 6PM and we only stayed for a few minutes.
After a fairly long drive into a very remote area we finally reached East Point Lighthouse only 5 minutes before 6. 
This was a very run down lighthouse just beginning the restoration. It will be interesting to go back in a few years to see what they accomplish.
Last for us was Cape May Lighthouse.
A very tall lighthouse. We arrived just after sundown, so could not get very good pictures. From afar it looked as though some silhouettes might be possible but it was not to be.
All in all a rather challenging day, hence the name, but we had a good time, had some free slurpees - hence the blue tongue - and all in all are looking forward to next year.
