DAY SEVEN
Rosewell Ruins,
Deadrise Charters and the Lighthouse
I was so
glad that I looked up Rosewell Plantation Ruins. I
found out that we can visit the skeletal remains of the mansion. We picked this day to see Rosewell and I am
so glad we did. The remains are haunting
and gorgeous. I took pictures at every
angle and close-up shots of interesting features. There was a gravesite near the structure with
a marker. The lingering walls and chimneys
were poignant and made my visit memorable.
After
visiting Rosewell, we went to Haven Beach.
We liked this beach because it was small and not-so crowded. We lay on towels on the sandy beach and swam
in the bay. We relaxed and enjoyed the
quietness of the beach.
Our next
adventure was to take a boat cruise out to the Newpoint Comfort
Lighthouse. The boat, Mathews Deadrise
Charters, was docked at The Inn at Tabbs Creek (B&B). We met up with our captain, Trey, who was a
wonder host pointing out historic sites and buildings while traveling through
the bay. It took about an hour to get
out to the lighthouse, but we didn’t mind.
We could see it from the distance getting closer and closer. Finally, we arrived at the historic
lighthouse. Trey moved the boat as close
as he could get, but in some areas it was only three feet. All of a sudden, dolphins started jumping out
of the water and entertaining us. The
entire cruise was magnificent and Trey was a superb captain.
On the way
back to our hotel, we stopped at Olivia’s in the Village for dinner. This was an amazing day.
That trip was amazing!
