Yesterday was a good day. I saw Transformers with my brother and sister which was amazing, then after that I went down to the local beach with my co-workers Nikki and Mary. It was kind of planned last minute and it was crowded, but it was nice to just go somewhere and relax and have fun without worrying about money and such. We all brought our own food, found a spot down away from most of the people and just laid out relaxing.
Our beach is actually a state park, Point Lookout State Park to be exact. It's a penninsula, the southern most point of Maryland. During the Civil War it was the sight of a Yankee fort, named Fort Lincoln, and a prisoner of war camp for Confederate soldiers. There is also a lighthouse that is #5 of the top 5 most haunted lighthouses in the United States. The whole place is considered extremely haunted and the park police actually keep a record or every reported ghost sighting. It's an amazing place and I absolutely love going there. The lighthouse isn't open very often because of it's age and problems they've had in the past (and it used to belong to the US Coast Guard) so I've never been in it, but I always go see the reconstructed Fort and the in construction prison pen. In short I absolutely love Point Lookout.
