MY FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP! This is the only lighthouse I have ever been to in person and it was SO neat! Call me what you like: but this was sweet!
This is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon. It sits so far off the ocean that the light can be seen around the curve of the earth!
(I wasn't supposed to be standing on the grass, thus the awkward picture.)
Braden and the lighthouse. (he was so excited to be in this picture)
View from the front door.
Built in 1872, and we were there on the 139th anniversary!
We had to wait in line to go inside. As you can tell by Tanner's face it was really bright.
This is the view up the stairs. They are the originals.
The boys did really good for the first half, then they got scared. Colt waited on a landing while we went the rest of the way up.
When the lighthouse was first built the lighthouse keeper would have to stay up in the top of the lighthouse the whole time the light was burning. To light up their sitting area they had these prisms built into the ceiling between them and the bulb.
This is Kate and Tanner going up to see the bulb.
The view from the top of the lighthouse!
The bulb, and I love the reflection!
The stairs from the top looking down. All 111 of them!
