New Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse — Attraction in Delaware

There was a major snowstorm or Noreaster coming our way in Delaware so we had to cut our trip short. They were saying on the weather channel that a state of emergency would close the roads but I had never been in the area before so I told Tony, we are still making a few stops!!!!
