This morning after breakfast we made a visit to Currituck, where we climbed the lighthouse, and toured The Whalehead Club--a home built in the 1920's. Take a look below! :)

As this is likely my favorite lighthouse, this time I climbed to the top along with Mother and Pop. And read this interesting fact inside:
"Elevated sources of light have been used to guide ships through perilous waters since the 7th century B.C. One of the most famous of the ancient lights was the Pharos, built in Alexsandria, Egypt, about 300 B.C. A huge bonfire was kept lit atop an ornamental tower of 450 feet to direct ships into the harbor."

As we headed up the hill to visit Whalehead, we saw lovely flowers and quite a large group of Canadian Geese with their goslings. We were blessed to be here at this time, because right now there is no cost to tour this mansion-like home.

You can stand and stare at the trees forever: their strong, gnarly branches and full crowns spreading over the green lawn. They look as if they could be trees straight out of a fairy tale! And the photos really don't do them justice.

| Chel snapped some pictures of me too--she is good at the artistic angles. :) |
We returned "home" for lunch, Josh and I played some pool, and then I sat to write to you! Hope your day is going well and filled with blessings. :)
