Lighthouse Tour
My parents came to visit for 2 weeks and one of our must do activities was to go on a lighthouse tour. It was something I had been looking forward to since we moved here. I was happy to share it with my parents. We had to start out early and we drove for an hour before getting on a ferry that was a two hour ride. Then we drove several more hours from lighthouse to lighthouse, crossing lots of bridges. We made it to see 3 of them. I decided there is no way you can do all of them in a day. So we saw the 3 lighthouses in the middle of the Outer Banks: Ocracoke, Cape Hatteras, and Bodie Island. It was a long day but we had a great time.
This is the Bodie Island Lighthouse.
Becca is a pretty tough chick!!!
The kids are in front of the most famous lighthouse; Cape Hatteras. It was beautiful.
Xander was soooo excited to ride on the ferry, he told everyone who would listen the few days before we went and the few days after we went about riding on a “big boat called ferry”. And as you can see he was a happy little boy to be on a boat!
Check out this picture. Jason was able to put the full moon in it so the lighthouse looked like it was lit up. Pretty impressive, the only thing that could have made it better was if it had been a real lighthouse not a replica at the local gas station!!!
Anyway it was a great trip!
