There’s not much better than a summer Saturday! It was a hot one here in Pittsburgh, (I think the high was 93 degrees?!) but we made the best of it.
In the morning, our family went on a story hike with our local library. We met at a local trail and hiked with a group of friends from the library, stopped for story time, and then hiked back for snacks! The kids loved it and man did it feel good to be out in the woods.
We woke up early on our last day in the Outer Banks and booked tickets to climb the Bodie Island Lighthouse! I had seen the lighthouse growing up and even as an adult, but this was my first time climbing it.
I love visiting, climbing, and learning about lighthouses. I read The Light Between Oceans a few years ago and I still think about that book sometimes. I’ve also climbed the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla, NC and the Tybee Island Lighthouse in Savannah, GA. I definitely want to keep adding more to my list! I have seen the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse from the back of a horse, but haven’t climbed that one yet. Maybe next time 😉 (more…)
