Sandy Hook, NJ & Charlottesville, VA

We had a great time on our most recent trip up north. While Bryan was working the kids and I went off to explore the New Jersey coastline. The Sandy Hook lighthouse at Fort Hancock was our first stop. Fort Hancock was occupied by British Loyalists to ensure British entry into New York Harbor during the Revolutionary War. Then on the way home we stopped off to check out the Twin Lighthouses on the Navesink River overlooking New York Harbor. Reed's birthday dinner was the following day. He asked for sushi and Bryan's co-workers told us about a fabulous place called Redheads. Yummy! On our trip home to Georgia we stopped off in Charlottesville, Virginia to visit Thomas Jefferson's plantation- Monticello. What a beautiful day. The kids had a great time...especially Jewel who answered every one of our tour guides questions before any of the adults in our group. She loves Thomas Jefferson! Enjoy the pics...and more to come as the "Cross Country Cochrans" share our spring 2009 travels with ya'll.
