_Web Savvy Mom_: Wordless Wednesday - Top of the Lighthouse

June 26, 2012

This year on our family vacation we took a break from the beach to climb to the top of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in the Outer Banks.

The Currituck Beach Lighthouse was built in 1875 which I think is the same age as Ed, the curator.

It was 214 steps to the top.

The yellow building is the Whalehead Club.

It was a very windy day which explains why the Wright Brothers probably picked the location just south of us.

To entice Troy to the top we bribed him.

He didn't last long but was rewarded with ice cream when we got back down.

It was a beautiful day in the Outer Banks.

Karren Haller, June 27, 2012 at 9:07 AM: WOW< one of my favorite things is lighthouses, I would have a collection if I could. We visited them in California and South Carolina they have such a story to tell and the light keeper does have quit the job of keeping the light maintained.
