As we walked in to pay for our tour we past this sign!
The lighthouse has been featured on the SciFi Channel and a ghost hunt has been filmed there.
I don't believe in ghost or anything like that, but I thought it was pretty cool!
The girls walking up to the keepers quarters
While we were there the lighthouse was under a little construction. They were painting a black strip on it. There is no way I could have that job! I was scared to death of falling on the stairs climbing up and coming back down the actual lighthouse.
Part of the keepers quarters. They couldn't have picked a creepier looking "fake" man!
The view was absolutely beautiful from the top. I was fine when I got up there, I just couldn't hardly handle the stairs. They were so narrow and winding....at one point I thought I would have a panic attack! I guess that's why I was so relieved when I made it to the top.
Me and the kids....it was really windy up there!
Carl and the kids. He was completely opposite of me. He climbed the stairs fine, but as soon as he got to the top he froze. He couldn't look over the side and about freaked out when Trey leaned over!!
I did it! I finally got the chance to climb a lighthouse. It has been on my bucket list for a while. This one had some great history behind it, so it was very interesting. It was scary, but I did it and man did my knee let me feel it for a while. The next morning we were all very sore. I'm so glad we were able to fit this in on our vacation!
