Yaquina Head Lighthouse

We enjoyed climbing the 114 stairs to the top of 

this beautiful light house.

,

This is the second oldest lighthouse is Oregon, 

built in 1873.  The walls are 5 feet thick. 

It was fun to climb the spiral staricases, 

although Kate and I held on tight to eachother.

 Lucy barely passed the height test, and we were

so glad we could all go on the tour.

I love the ages of all of our kids right now.

This is the very top.  It still blinks twice every 20 seconds.  

  It was a rainy day, and we enjoyed
walking along the coast with our umbrellas.

I have always liked the idea and purpose behind 

lighthouses. It was fun to think about 

lighthouses and to tour a "real" lighthouse as a family.
