We took the morning on Saturday and decided to do a little sight seeing. We went to this lighthouse which is actually on the Naval Air Station (I'm having a hard time not calling it a base.)
It was very interesting to say the least! The lighthouse keeper stayed in the house connected to the lighthouse. Every evening he would have to carry up 2- 5 gallon buckets of oil to light the lighthouse for the night! They had one there and it was HEAVY! This lighthouse has 177 stairs. I can't imagine that being my job every night! I'm thinking he was in great shape!
Our view from the top! Matthew and Shelby couldn't go up because there is a height requirement. David stayed down with them. Next time we go - I'll stay down and let him climb the 177 stairs!
Going back down!
