Today is National Lighthouse Day. I wasn't thinking about that at all when I went out to go to the post office but I ended up at Jones Point Lighthouse. I forgot I had ordered groceries. 😂

In addition to the lighthouse, the southernmost boundary stone for original Washington, DC is here.
From boundarystones.org: Benjamin Banneker, an astronomer and surveyor from Maryland, was hired to make the astronomical observations and calculations necessary to establish the south corner of the square at Jones Point in Alexandria. According to legend, "Banneker fixed the position of the first stone by lying on his back to find the exact starting point for the survey ... and plotting six stars as they crossed his spot at a particular time of night."
